# Lively vs Stepido

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stepido at none against Lively's 17. Stepido also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Lively's advantage is ratings volume (51K vs 1) and chart position (#48 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lively sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Stepido asks for nothing beyond the download.

Stepido holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lively has 51K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
