# Stepwise Pedometer vs Walker

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.

Both are free to download. Stepwise Pedometer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per year and Walker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
