# PRTracker vs WatchSteps

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WatchSteps at none against PRTracker's 4. WatchSteps also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). PRTracker's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PRTracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. WatchSteps asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for PRTracker against 5.0 for WatchSteps. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PRTracker has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PRTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, WatchSteps every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 9, 2026 and July 31, 2026 respectively.
