The clearest difference is price: WheelyX at Free against Steps Tracker's $1.99. WheelyX also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Steps Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (367 vs 1) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
