Some versions of ''StepMania'' will run on most common operating systems ([[Microsoft Windows]] [[Windows 98|98]]/[[Windows Me|Me]]/[[Windows 2000|2000]]/[[Windows XP|XP]]/[[Windows Vista|Vista]]/[[Windows 7|7]]/[[Windows 8|8]], [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]], [[Mac OS X]]), as well as the [[Xbox]] console. It has also been used as the base engine in a variety of [[free software]] and [[proprietary software|proprietary]] products for various platforms.

Several ''StepMania''-based commercial games have been released due to its open nature:

*''[[In the Groove (game)|In the Groove]]'' (ITG) is an arcade dance game series developed by the core ''StepMania'' developers, and is based on 3.9 and a CVS build of StepMania often known as version 3.95. To prevent [[Copyright infringement of software|unauthorized copying]], ''StepMania'' was re-licensed under a more permissive license (changed from [[GNU General Public License|GPL]] to the [[MIT License]] with the agreement of all coders, in exchange for their names appearing on the ITG credits screen), not requiring source code to be published on derivative works, and thus allowing ITG's [[copy control]] to remain proprietary and [[closed source software|closed source]].
*''[[Pump It Up Pro]]'' is a spinoff of the [[List of Pump it Up video games|''Pump it Up'']] series headed by former ITG developers and musicians. The game utilizes a build of StepMania 4 for its engine, which also led to improved Pump support in ''StepMania'' itself.
*''Pump It Up Infinity'' is another spinoff of the ''Pump it Up'' series aimed primarily at North American audiences. Unlike the Pro series, however, it is managed directly by [[Andamiro]]. The game is based on ''StepMania'' 5.
* ''[[StepManiaX]]'' is a spiritual successor to In The Groove, with the addition of the Center panel and other features.
