Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StepsApp Pedometer at 93% against Step Counter Widget's 60%. StepsApp Pedometer also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (297K vs 299). Step Counter Widget's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
