# StepsApp Pedometer vs Steps Counter

The clearest difference is ratings volume: StepsApp Pedometer at 297K against Steps Counter's 18. StepsApp Pedometer also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StepsApp Pedometer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Steps Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for StepsApp Pedometer against 4.9 for Steps Counter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepsApp Pedometer has 297K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of StepsApp Pedometer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Steps Counter's.
