Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Steps at 4.6 against My StepCounter's 2.4. Steps also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 17) and review sentiment (49% vs 29%). My StepCounter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
