# Quit Smoking vs Stepdown

The clearest difference is rating: Stepdown at 4.5 against Quit Smoking's 3.0. Stepdown also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (63 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quit Smoking sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Stepdown sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stepdown holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stepdown has 63 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
