# Walker vs The Pedometer

The clearest difference is rating: Walker at 4.5 against The Pedometer's 3.9. Walker also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Pedometer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Walker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Walker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walker has 425 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Walker's written reviews are positive against 82% of The Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Walker ships an update every 2 weeks, The Pedometer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
