Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stepz at 100% against Velocomp Tracker's 20%. Stepz also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Velocomp Tracker's advantage is rating (2.6 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Velocomp Tracker holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Velocomp Tracker has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Velocomp Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stepz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Velocomp Tracker ships an update every 4 weeks, Stepz every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
