The short answer

Both run step challenges for companies. Walkingspree is a managed US programme with rewards and content; YuMuuv is a challenge app with published prices that you can launch in days, in 50 languages.

Choose YuMuuv if you…

  • want to see the price first and run one challenge rather than a four-month pilot
  • want to launch within two weeks
  • have people in many countries: the app runs in 50 languages
  • need a SOC 2 Type II report for your security review

Walkingspree may suit you better if you…

  • want the vendor to run communications and marketing for your programme
  • want points redeemed for eGift cards in a built-in rewards store
  • want animated virtual journeys, Les Mills workouts and a wellness article library

Four differences that matter

  • Prices you can see

    YuMuuv publishes prices for every team size and length, from $600. Walkingspree shares prices after a demo and starts with a four-month pilot or a yearly contract.

  • Live in one to two weeks

    YuMuuv is technically ready within a day, and most companies launch one to two weeks after signing. Walkingspree says its team can have a programme ready within five weeks.

  • 50 languages vs 8

    YuMuuv runs in 50 languages. Walkingspree's website names eight, and its App Store listing shows English only.

  • SOC 2 Type II

    YuMuuv holds a SOC 2 Type II report and keeps data in the EU. Walkingspree states a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation and hosts on AWS in the US.
