# Pedometer vs StepsBot

The clearest difference is rating: StepsBot at 4.2 against Pedometer's 3.6. StepsBot also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 5). Pedometer's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pedometer sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and StepsBot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepsBot holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepsBot has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Pedometer's written reviews are positive against 70% of StepsBot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pedometer ships an update every 2 weeks, StepsBot weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
