# Step Year vs StepStream

The clearest difference is rating: StepStream at 5.0 against Step Year's 4.6. StepStream also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Step Year's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step Year sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and StepStream sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepStream holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Year has 25 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Step Year's written reviews are positive against 100% of StepStream's.
