Meet your new walking buddy. A round, devoted capybara whose whole world runs on your steps. Walk to work, take the long way home, pace your kitchen while the coffee brews. Every step brings your capy somewhere new, and there’s always a warm welcome when you come back. Your steps sync from Apple Health and fuel your capy’s journey along a winding path through meadows, gardens, and quiet corners of the world. The further you walk, the more there is to discover together. Along the way, collect flowers and plants to bring back to your capy’s garden, a cozy little world that’s yours to return to and make your own. You can also unlock outfits and small touches that make your capy feel even more like yours. New seasonal themes arrive every month, so there’s always something fresh to look forward to. Come back each day and watch your world grow a little more over time. Miss a day? Your capy is still there, still happy to see you, ready to pick right back up. Capybara Walk is low-pressure self-care gentle daily ritual for people who want a softer way to move, and a small, warm companion waiting for them when they do.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Step Tracker at 4.8 against Capybara Walk's 4.5. Step Tracker also leads on ratings volume (366 vs 47). Capybara Walk's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step Tracker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.79 per 7 days and Capybara Walk sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Step Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Tracker has 366 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Step Tracker's written reviews are positive against 93% of Capybara Walk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Step Tracker ships an update every 2 weeks, Capybara Walk weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
