Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ChowTracker at none against StepZeno's shown. ChowTracker also leads on ratings volume (845 vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). StepZeno's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
