Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Steps at none against Step AI's 2. Steps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Step AI's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price 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 AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Steps asks for nothing beyond the download.
Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 6.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Step AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Steps ships an update every 10 days, Step AI every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
