# MySteps vs Just Walk

The clearest difference is ads: Just Walk at none against MySteps's shown. Just Walk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). MySteps's advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MySteps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Just Walk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Just Walk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySteps has 45K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
