# Step Counter Maipo vs Step Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Step Counter Maipo at 4.8 against Step Counter's 4.0. Step Counter Maipo also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 4). Step Counter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step Counter Maipo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Step Counter asks for nothing beyond the download.

Step Counter Maipo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Counter Maipo has 2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Step Counter Maipo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Step Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
