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. Taper sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SteadyLeaf sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SteadyLeaf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taper has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Taper ships an update every 5 days, SteadyLeaf every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
