# StepsApp Pedometer vs Disco Steps

StepsApp Pedometer and Disco Steps both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of StepsApp Pedometer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Disco Steps's. StepsApp Pedometer also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (297K vs 20). Disco Steps's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, 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 Disco Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 20, so its average is the more settled of the two.
