# Running Walking Tracker Goals vs Steps

The clearest difference is monetization model: Steps at free against Running Walking Tracker Goals's freemium. Steps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Running Walking Tracker Goals's advantage is ratings volume (107K vs 1) and chart position (#207 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running Walking Tracker Goals sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Walking Tracker Goals has 107K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Running Walking Tracker Goals ships an update monthly, Steps every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
