Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Any Distance Running Tracker at every 2 days against Step Counter ⓒ's fortnightly. Any Distance Running Tracker also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Step Counter ⓒ's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Any Distance Running Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.2K and 2.5K respectively.
