# Step vs Pace Monster

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pace Monster at none against Step's 6. Step's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Pace Monster asks for nothing beyond the download.
