# Pedometer vs Steply

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pedometer at 95% against Steply's 33%. Steply's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, 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 Steply sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steply holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Pedometer's written reviews are positive against 33% of Steply'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, Steply every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
