Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Steps, The Pedometer App at 100% against StepsToday's 63%. Steps, The Pedometer App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). StepsToday's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StepsToday holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepsToday has 131 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Steps, The Pedometer App's written reviews are positive against 63% of StepsToday's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steps, The Pedometer App ships an update every 3 months, StepsToday fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
