Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Steps at 5.0 against Step's 4.6. Steps also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Step's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
