# Steps+ vs Pedometer

The clearest difference is rating: Steps+ at 4.8 against Pedometer's 4.5. Steps+ also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 44) and review sentiment (80% vs 64%). Pedometer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps+ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Pedometer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steps+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5.
