# StepsApp Pedometer vs Step Counter Widget

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.

Both are free to download. StepsApp Pedometer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Step Counter Widget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepsApp Pedometer has 297K ratings behind it against 299, so its average is the more settled of the two.
