# Pedometer++ vs Bean

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bean at 100% against Pedometer++'s 70%. Bean also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pedometer++'s advantage is ratings volume (184K vs 6) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price, ads, 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 Bean sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bean holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedometer++ has 184K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Pedometer++'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Bean's.

Pedometer++ ships an update every 3 weeks, Bean daily. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
