# Pedometer vs Move

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Move at none against Pedometer's 3. Move also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Pedometer's advantage is ratings volume (939 vs 14). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
