Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Step Counter Maipo at 4.8 against Steps's 4.0. Step Counter Maipo also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 1). Steps's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Step Counter Maipo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Step Counter Maipo has 2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 95% of Step Counter Maipo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steps ships an update monthly, Step Counter Maipo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
