Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stepz at 77% against My StepCounter's 29%. Stepz also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (33K vs 17). My StepCounter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Stepz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. My StepCounter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stepz holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stepz has 33K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of My StepCounter's written reviews are positive against 77% of Stepz's.
My StepCounter ships an update every 3 weeks, Stepz weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
