Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Step at none against Steps's 10. Step also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Steps's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
