Why people switch
People who like Sweatcoin's idea but want a clearer goal each day often prefer StayActive. Instead of collecting coins for every step, you aim for 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 steps, keep a streak going, and climb levels. It turns walking into a habit with a finish line every day.
The rewards are different too. StayActive works with health and lifestyle brands, so your points go toward things like free items and perks, or a donation to charity.
When Sweatcoin may suit you better
If you use an Android phone today, or you prefer browsing a large marketplace of offers, Sweatcoin may be the better fit for now. There is nothing stopping you from trying both.
How StayActive works
StayActive is a free iPhone app. Your steps sync automatically from Apple Health, so there is nothing to log by hand.
- Points for steps: you earn points when you pass 5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 steps in a day (10, 20 and 25 points). The tiers stack, so a 15,000-step day earns all three.
- Bonus points: +5 for opening the app each day, and +25 for a 7-day streak of hitting your goal.
- Levels: walk consistently to move from Newbie to Starter, Explorer, Champion and Legend, with a one-time bonus at each step up.
- Rewards: spend points on rewards from partner brands, or donate them to charity.
- A fair daily limit: everyday points are capped at 100 a day, which keeps rewards meaningful for everyone.
Turn your walks into rewards
StayActive is free on iPhone. Android is coming soon.
