Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
StepsUp holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepsUp has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of StepsUp's written reviews are positive against 100% of Step Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StepsUp ships an update every 3 weeks, Step Counter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
