Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: >LOAD Steps at 5.0 against Step Counter's 4.0. >LOAD Steps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Step Counter's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
