Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Step counter at free against StepsApp Pedometer's free with in-app purchases. Step counter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). StepsApp Pedometer's advantage is ratings volume (302K vs 49) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
