# Boop vs StepMax

The clearest difference is monetization model: StepMax at free with in-app purchases against Boop's subscription. Boop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.2). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and StepMax sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
