The clearest difference is rating: Health Widget Pedometer at 4.4 against Steps Widget's 3.9. Health Widget Pedometer also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 25%) and ratings volume (627 vs 16). Steps Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Health Widget Pedometer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Steps Widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.89 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
