Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Disco Steps at none against Step Counter ⓒ's shown. Disco Steps also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Step Counter ⓒ's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 20) and review sentiment (73% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step Counter ⓒ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Disco Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Disco Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Counter ⓒ has 4.2K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Step Counter ⓒ's written reviews are positive against 50% of Disco Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Step Counter ⓒ ships an update fortnightly, Disco Steps every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
