# Quit smoking vs Stepdown

The clearest difference is ads: Stepdown at none against Quit smoking's shown. Stepdown also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 9) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Quit smoking's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quit smoking sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Stepdown sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Quit smoking against 4.5 for Stepdown. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stepdown has 56 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Quit smoking ships an update every 2 days, Stepdown every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
