# Pedometer++ vs Duffy

The clearest difference is ads: Duffy at none against Pedometer++'s shown. Duffy also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 70%). Pedometer++'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (182K vs 757). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pedometer++ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Duffy sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Pedometer++ against 4.7 for Duffy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedometer++ has 182K ratings behind it against 757, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of Pedometer++'s written reviews are positive against 84% of Duffy's.

Pedometer++ ships an update every 3 weeks, Duffy every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
