# Pedometer vs StepWise

The clearest difference is rating: StepWise at 5.0 against Pedometer's 4.0. Pedometer's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and StepWise sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepWise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedometer has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Pedometer ships an update fortnightly, StepWise every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
