Casual dieting's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Casual dieting sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and StepCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepCat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Casual dieting has 2.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Casual dieting ships an update every 2 months, StepCat every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
