# Peptidia vs Step Counter

The clearest difference is monetization model: Step Counter at freemium against Peptidia's subscription. Peptidia's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peptidia sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Step Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Peptidia ships an update every 2 weeks, Step Counter every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
