Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Forever at none against Daily Steps's 2. Forever also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Daily Steps's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
