Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: STEPN at 4.2 against Walken.io's 3.6. STEPN also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 36%) and ratings volume (3K vs 577). Walken.io's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Walken.io sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and STEPN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
STEPN holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STEPN has 3K ratings behind it against 577, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Walken.io's written reviews are positive against 49% of STEPN's.
Walken.io ships an update weekly, STEPN monthly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
