# StepStream vs GlowBack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StepStream at 100% against GlowBack's 0%. StepStream also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). GlowBack's advantage is ratings volume (79 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StepStream sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and GlowBack sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepStream holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GlowBack has 79 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of StepStream's written reviews are positive against 0% of GlowBack's.
