What if each step you took - running or walking - could take you around the world? Run Around the World turns your steps and runs into a visual trek around entire planets or moons. Whether you're walking, running, or just staying active, you’ll see your progress mapped against the scale of Earth and other planets and moons. • See Your Progress Differently. Watch your distance accumulate as you trek around the Earth and other planets and moons. • Go Beyond Earth. Run around the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, or Pluto. • Real-Time Distance Tracking. Sync with Apple Health to automatically update your distance base on your daily activity – or track progress manually. • Customize Your Experience. Track total distance walked or ran with Apple Health and Nike Run Club workouts. • Colossal Motivation. Keep your eye on the prize with a single visualization of how far you’ve come—and how far you can go. Check your progress after each run or walk. Is the Earth too large of a goal? Try the Moon or one of the smaller planets to get the ball rolling. Whether you're training seriously or just trying to move more, Run Around the World gives you motivation to go the distance.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Run Around the World at none against StepMon's shown. Run Around the World also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
