# MoveX vs Step Counter ⓒ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Step Counter ⓒ at 73% against MoveX's 30%. Step Counter ⓒ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 417). MoveX's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MoveX sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Step Counter ⓒ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Step Counter ⓒ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Counter ⓒ has 4.2K ratings behind it against 417, so its average is the more settled of the two.
