# Steps vs Steps

The clearest difference is rating: Steps at 4.7 against Steps's 4.0. Steps also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Steps's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Steps asks for nothing beyond the download.

Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 5.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 80% of Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Steps ships an update monthly, Steps weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
