Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pedometer World at 100% against Steps's 49%. Steps's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (19K vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Steps sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Pedometer World sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 19K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pedometer World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steps ships an update every 9 days, Pedometer World every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
