# Pacer Pedometer Step Counter vs WALK

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pacer Pedometer Step Counter at 338K against WALK's 14. Pacer Pedometer Step Counter also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pacer Pedometer Step Counter sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and WALK sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pacer Pedometer Step Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pacer Pedometer Step Counter has 338K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of Pacer Pedometer Step Counter's written reviews are positive against 100% of WALK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pacer Pedometer Step Counter ships an update every 3 weeks, WALK every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
