Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StepsApp Pedometer at 93% against Lose Weight Running's 45%. StepsApp Pedometer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (297K vs 191). Lose Weight Running's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
