Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Steps at 4.0 against Run Trackr's 2.8. Steps also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Run Trackr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
