Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita β midway along the road of our life. Dante Steps is a literary pedometer: your real, everyday steps walk the road of Dante's Divine Comedy, from the dark wood to the White Rose. No account, no ads, no map β just your steps, fifteen stations, ten small relics to collect, and Gustave DorΓ©'s engravings along the way. THE DARK ROAD Walk 20,000 steps from the dark wood through the gate, past the whirlwind and the frozen floor, out under the stars of Purgatory and up the great climb β to the place where the road itself burns: the Wall of Fire. BEYOND THE FIRE (one-time purchase) The second half of the journey is unlocked with a single in-app purchase. Past the flame: the green country of the Earthly Paradise, Beatrice, the rising heavens, the rings of angels, and β at 40,000 steps β the White Rose, and the love that moves the sun and the other stars. ALSO IN YOUR POCKET β’ Original Italian lines from the Commedia (Petrocchi edition), with new English renderings written for this app β’ Fifteen DorΓ© plates, faithfully reproduced from public-domain engravings (1861β1868) β’ Ten relics of the road, from a laurel leaf to a star β’ Apple Watch companion: steps, stations and road-words on your wrist β’ Steps are counted on your device with Core Motion and never leave your iPhone Dante Steps is not a medical or fitness product. It is a way to read a very old book with your feet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StepMon at none against Dante Steps's 1. Dante Steps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
