Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cudex at none against Steppa's shown. Cudex also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). Steppa's advantage is chart position (#83 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
