Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Walker at none against Stepwise Pedometer's shown. Walker also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Stepwise Pedometer's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 124) and review sentiment (84% vs 72%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
