Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ISRU at none against Steppa's 8. ISRU also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 51%). Steppa's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 18) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steppa sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. ISRU asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for ISRU against 4.6 for Steppa. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steppa has 2.1K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of ISRU's written reviews are positive against 51% of Steppa's.
ISRU ships an update every 6 days, Steppa every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
