Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BodyState at 4.6 against Steps's 4.0. BodyState also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). Steps's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. BodyState sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Steps sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BodyState holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BodyState has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of BodyState's written reviews are positive against 83% of Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BodyState ships an update every 6 weeks, Steps every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
