# Walker vs Steps Tracker

The clearest difference is monetization model: Walker at free with in-app purchases against Steps Tracker's subscription. Steps Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Walker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Steps Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Walker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.6K and 2.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Walker's written reviews are positive against 69% of Steps Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Walker ships an update every 3 months, Steps Tracker weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
