THE WALKING RACE STARTS NOW. Steps turns every step into a race. Running or walking. Pick a route. Invite your friends. Start walking. The one who hits the steps goal first, wins. — REAL STEPS. REAL ROUTES. Munich to Berlin. Barcelona to Madrid. LA to New York. Every step counts. — FRIENDS MAKE IT BETTER. Because Lisa just passed you. Because Tom won't stop trash talking. Because second place sucks. — PUSH THE GROUP. One tap. Maximum pressure. "Tony fired you up. Move your ass." Nobody rests in peace. — THE WORLD IS WATCHING. Daily. Weekly. All time. Climb the leaderboard. Or get left behind. — WHY STEPS? Because 10,000 steps a day is boring. Beating your friends isn't. Steps isn't a fitness tracker. It's competition. — NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO B******T. Built for people, not advertisers. — DOWNLOAD STEPS. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS. WALK THE TALK.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Steps at none against Stark's 3. Steps also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). Stark's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
