# Steps vs Nutrie

The clearest difference is rating: Steps at 4.6 against Nutrie's 2.6. Steps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (81% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Nutrie sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 53 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 50% of Nutrie's.
