# ASICS Runkeeper vs STEPN

The clearest difference is rating: ASICS Runkeeper at 4.8 against STEPN's 4.2. ASICS Runkeeper also leads on ratings volume (379K vs 3K) and review sentiment (74% vs 49%). STEPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASICS Runkeeper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month 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.

ASICS Runkeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 379K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
