# StepsApp Pedometer vs CoStep

The clearest difference is ads: CoStep at none against StepsApp Pedometer's shown. CoStep also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). StepsApp Pedometer's advantage is ratings volume (297K vs 14) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, 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 CoStep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CoStep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepsApp Pedometer has 297K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of StepsApp Pedometer's written reviews are positive against 75% of CoStep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StepsApp Pedometer ships an update every 6 days, CoStep every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 25, 2026 respectively.
