Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Steps at none against Walk & Talk's shown. Steps also leads on ratings volume (5.5K vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Walk & Talk's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
