# Stompers vs Upkeep Social

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Upkeep Social at 100% against Stompers's 57%. Upkeep Social also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Stompers's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stompers sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Upkeep Social sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stompers holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stompers has 14K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Stompers's written reviews are positive against 100% of Upkeep Social's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stompers ships an update every 3 days, Upkeep Social every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
