Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Halo at Free against Pedometer Plus's $0.49. Halo also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). Pedometer Plus's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.5) and review sentiment (52% vs 24%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
