# Weighed vs Steps

The clearest difference is rating: Weighed at 5.0 against Steps's 4.0. Weighed also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). Steps's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 67%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weighed sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Steps sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weighed holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Weighed's written reviews are positive against 83% of Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weighed ships an update every 3 months, Steps every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
