For walkers who want their step count without opening a dashboard, Pas du Jour puts steps on the face of your Apple Watch. Raise your wrist to check your count or see how many steps are left to reach your goal. Pick a built-in style, then follow the setup guide to add it to a compatible watch face. On your watch, without buying Pro: • 6 built-in styles: Today, Number, Progress, Balanced, Remaining and Levels. • A daily goal you can change or turn off from your wrist. • A goal percentage that keeps going past 100%. • The last 7 days, their average, the highest available reading and days when you reached your goal. With Pas du Jour Pro, create up to 8 complication profiles. Choose their data, layout and icon. Show your goal streak or steps remaining for the calendar week. These values use your current goal and available history. Incomplete history can prevent a value from appearing; a + marks a minimum streak. Requires an Apple Watch compatible with watchOS 26. Available formats depend on the watch face. Updates depend on watchOS and access to Health. Steps are read locally from Health with your permission. No account, ads, analytics or server. Pas du Jour is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or medical advice. Pas du Jour Pro is an optional one-time purchase with no subscription. The 6 built-in styles, daily goal and history remain available without a purchase. Access earned before version 1.1.0 stays yours.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: PasDuJour at every 4 days against Overload's every 6 weeks. PasDuJour also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
