Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Step AI at 100% against StepsMeter's 63%. Step AI also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). StepsMeter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StepsMeter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of StepsMeter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Step AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
