Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stepaway at 5.0 against Lite's 4.0. Lite's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stepaway sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stepaway holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lite has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
