Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Step counter at free against Walk to Unlock's subscription. Step counter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Walk to Unlock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 49). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
