# StepsApp Pedometer vs MySteps

The clearest difference is update cadence: StepsApp Pedometer at every 6 days against MySteps's every 2 weeks. StepsApp Pedometer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (93% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StepsApp Pedometer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MySteps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
