What You Can Do: • Create or join private battles with 6-character invite codes • Compete in step or calorie battles (1 day to infinite duration) • Automatic HealthKit sync—no manual entry, no cheating • Fair competition modes: Classic (highest total wins), Handicap (baseline-adjusted scoring), and Best Days (only your best N days count) • Real-time leaderboards with daily stats, streaks, and rankings • Battle recaps with winners, comebacks, and improvement highlights • Mark rest days that use baseline averages instead of actual steps • Share battle results and challenge banners on Instagram Stories • Send taunts to rivals with preset messages • Background step syncing keeps your progress updated automatically Perfect For: • Friends who want to motivate each other through friendly competition • Family members staying active together • Workplace wellness challenges and team building • Anyone who needs accountability to walk more Privacy First: All battles are private and invite-only. Your HealthKit data is used only to track your progress—never shared or sold. We use automatic syncing from Apple Health, so there's no manual entry and no way to cheat. How It Works: 1. Create an account with email and password 2. Grant HealthKit permission to sync your steps and calories 3. Create a private group or join one with an invite code 4. Start a battle (choose duration, type, and fair play mode) 5. Walk, sync automatically, and compete on real-time leaderboards Fair Competition: Not everyone walks the same amount. That's why we have Handicap mode (adjusts scores based on your baseline activity) and Best Days mode (only your best days count toward your total). Everyone can compete fairly, regardless of their starting fitness level. Start your first battle today and turn walking into a game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GotSteps at none against Walk's 2. GotSteps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Walk's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
