# Pedometer++ vs Stepz

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pedometer++ at free with in-app purchases against Stepz's subscription. Pedometer++ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#83 vs unranked). Stepz's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pedometer++ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Stepz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pedometer++ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedometer++ has 182K ratings behind it against 33K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Pedometer++'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Stepz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pedometer++ ships an update every 3 weeks, Stepz weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
