Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Catalyst Tracker at none against Social Steps's 3. Catalyst Tracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Social Steps's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
