# Step Tracker · Step Counter vs Pedometer

The clearest difference is rating: Step Tracker · Step Counter at 4.9 against Pedometer's 3.6. Step Tracker · Step Counter also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 5). Pedometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (95% vs 77%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step Tracker · Step Counter sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Pedometer sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Step Tracker · Step Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Tracker · Step Counter has 1.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Step Tracker · Step Counter's written reviews are positive against 95% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Step Tracker · Step Counter ships an update every 3 months, Pedometer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
