Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Talktime at 5.0 against STEPPI's 4.4. Talktime also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). STEPPI's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (130 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
