Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pedora at 4.5 against Pedometer Lite's 4.0. Pedora also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 31%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 37 months). Pedometer Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
