# PhaseMate vs Pedometer Walking Challenge

The clearest difference is update cadence: PhaseMate at every 3 days against Pedometer Walking Challenge's every 2 weeks. PhaseMate also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and device support (3 vs 1). Pedometer Walking Challenge's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 71%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhaseMate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Pedometer Walking Challenge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PhaseMate holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of PhaseMate's written reviews are positive against 88% of Pedometer Walking Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PhaseMate ships an update every 3 days, Pedometer Walking Challenge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
