# Stompers vs StepCrush

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StepCrush at 100% against Stompers's 57%. StepCrush also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Stompers's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 7) and chart position (#55 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stompers sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and StepCrush sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepCrush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stompers has 16K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Stompers's written reviews are positive against 100% of StepCrush's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
