Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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.
Steps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Step ships an update monthly, Steps every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
