Lace up and set out — the first milestone is closer than you think.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trekle at none against BloomStep's 3. BloomStep's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
