Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Steps Tracker at 4.4 against Pedometer's 3.6. Steps Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 5). Pedometer's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (95% vs 69%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Steps Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps Tracker has 2.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Steps Tracker's written reviews are positive against 95% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steps Tracker ships an update weekly, Pedometer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
