# CoStep vs Pedometer

The clearest difference is rating: CoStep at 5.0 against Pedometer's 3.6. CoStep also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pedometer's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CoStep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CoStep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of CoStep's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CoStep ships an update every 3 weeks, Pedometer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
