Verdict

The call

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.
