Step-a-thon turns everyday walking into a fun, friendly challenge for your whole group. Record a walk and your steps are counted right on your phone, then added to your total on a live leaderboard. Climb the rankings, cheer on your teammates, and collect badges as you hit new milestones. Built for organized step-a-thon events โ schools, workplaces, colleges, and community groups โ Step-a-thon makes it easy to run a healthy, high-energy activity where everyone can take part. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Record your walks and count steps automatically using your phone's motion sensor โข Watch a live leaderboard update as you and your teammates rack up steps โข Join a team and compete together toward a shared goal โข Earn badges as you reach new milestones โข Track your personal progress over the course of the event FOR EVENT ORGANIZERS Administrators can set up events, manage participants and teams, and follow standings in real time โ everything you need to run a smooth step challenge. PRIVACY FIRST Step-a-thon collects very little. Your phone's motion sensor is used only while you're recording a walk, and only the resulting step count is saved โ never the raw sensor data. No location tracking, no ads, and no third-party analytics. Read our privacy policy at https://steps.eskoops.com/privacy. Lace up, start walking, and see how far your team can go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Step at none against Walka's 2. Step also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
