Stepr
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stepr is a step challenge app for friends, families and offices. Steps come straight from your iPhone, so nobody can type them in, and the last one walking wins. Create a league, share a six-letter code, and start. Every day the step goal rises a little. Meet it and you stay in. Miss it and you're out. The last one walking wins, and total steps break ties. Solo, duo or team lobbies, up to 100 players. COUNTED, NOT TYPED Steps come straight from your iPhone and Apple Health. There's no typing, so there's no cheating. Every player sees where the steps came from. PLAN THE DAY Tell Stepr how many times you want to walk and it fits walks around your calendar, then reminds you ten minutes before each one. Drag a walk on the timeline to move it; your calendar follows. WALK SOMEWHERE Pick a destination on the map and a little backpacker walks the real road there with every step you take, past stops with a story about each place. ALSO • Free passes for a missed day, so a forgotten sync doesn't end your run • Presets from a one-week sprint to a month-long climb • Day-by-day history for every player and a live page for anyone with the code • Playing is free and hosting is free. League Pro upgrades one league; Host Pro covers every league you host. OPTIONAL PURCHASES • League Pro: one-time upgrade for one league (teams, up to 100 players, extra passes, season recap) • Host Pro: auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription that makes every league you host Pro • Supply Drops: three supply drops for the walking journey Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Host Pro renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stepr at none against StrideLog's 1. Stepr also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
