# Steps vs Walk

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Walk at 100% against Steps's 81%. Walk also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Steps's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 5) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Walk sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Walk holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 52 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Walk's.

Steps ships an update every 10 days, Walk every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
