# Steps+ vs Track My Steps

The clearest difference is ads: Track My Steps at none against Steps+'s shown. Track My Steps also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 1.3K) and device support (3 vs 1). Steps+'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps+ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Track My Steps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steps+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Track My Steps has 11K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Steps+'s written reviews are positive against 81% of Track My Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Steps+ ships an update every 2 weeks, Track My Steps every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
