Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StepDex at none against Fitness Reframed's 6. StepDex also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). Fitness Reframed's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
