Verdict
Stompers and Step Up Challenge both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Step Up Challenge's written reviews are positive against 57% of Stompers's. Step Up Challenge also leads on ads (none vs shown). Stompers's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 13) and chart position (#68 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stompers sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Step Up Challenge sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Stompers against 4.7 for Step Up Challenge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stompers has 14K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Stompers's written reviews are positive against 100% of Step Up Challenge's.
Stompers ships an update every 3 days, Step Up Challenge every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
