# Steps vs Fit as

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Steps at 68% against Fit as's 22%. Steps also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (134K vs 9). Fit as's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Fit as sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fit as holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 134K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 22% of Fit as's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Steps ships an update fortnightly, Fit as every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
