Step-a-thon turns everyday walking into a fun, friendly challenge for your whole group. Record a walk and your steps are counted right on your phone, then added to your total on a live leaderboard.

Built for organized step-a-thon events โ schools, workplaces, colleges, and community groups โ Step-a-thon makes it easy to run a healthy, high-energy activity where everyone can take part. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Record your walks and count steps automatically using your phone's motion sensor โข Watch a live leaderboard update as you and your teammates rack up steps โข Join a team and compete together toward a shared goal โข Earn badges as you reach new milestones โข Track your personal progress over the course of the event FOR EVENT ORGANIZERS Administrators can set up events, manage participants and teams, and follow standings in real time โ everything you need to run a smooth step challenge. PRIVACY FIRST Step-a-thon collects very little. Your phone's motion sensor is used only while you're recording a walk, and only the resulting step count is saved โ never the raw sensor data.

Your iPhone already counts every step you take. Just Steps shows that number the way it deserves to be shown: big, honest, and with nothing else in the way. THE DAY IS A TRAIL Steps you have taken draw the path. Steps ahead stay dots. A flag marks your goal, and a small walker shows exactly where you are between them. When you pass the flag, the trail is yours; tap any of the last seven days to walk back through it. THE HONEST NUMBER Pair an Apple Watch but only wear it for workouts, and Apple's Fitness app follows the Watch, showing you almost nothing. Just Steps reads the same de-duplicated total as the Health app, so the count is right whether your steps come from your iPhone, your Watch, or both. MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - One screen: today, your goal, your week - A daily goal you set once and change in two taps - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Designed dark, end to end NOTHING ELSE No account. No cloud. No ads. No subscription. No streak guilt. Your steps stay in Apple Health, where they already live. Just Steps simply shows them properly. Requires access to Apple Health step data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Step at 3 against Just Steps's 1. Step also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
