Steep vs Stoa: which daily reflection app fits?
We make Steep. The better fit depends on what someone wants to make room for each day.
The daily practice
Steep offers one thought a day. Steep saves it and Pour lets it go. There are no streaks. A kept thought can lead into Pull the thread, a Premium feature with up to three reflections saved as they are revealed.
Stoa may suit someone who wants to spend longer with Stoicism. A daily guided meditation and a curated thought sit alongside courses and original texts. Listening and study have a place beside the short daily pause. As of November 2026 · Stoa · App Store
Stoa records meditation streaks and progress. As of November 2026 · Stoa

Where the difference lands
Steep may suit someone who wants to read and keep a thought without having to write a journal entry. Stoa may fit better when guided audio, courses and original Stoic texts are the main reason to open an app. As of November 2026 · Stoa · App Store As of November 2026 · Stoa
