Both are free to download. Step Counter ⓒ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and StepKing sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StepKing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Counter ⓒ has 4.2K ratings behind it against 3, 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 StepKing'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, StepKing every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
