Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 1 good thing at Free against Steparium's $1.99. 1 good thing also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Steparium's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
