# Step Counter vs LullaWave

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LullaWave at 100% against Step Counter's 50%. LullaWave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Step Counter's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Step Counter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LullaWave sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LullaWave holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Counter has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Step Counter's written reviews are positive against 100% of LullaWave's.
