# Steps vs Run Trackr

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.

Both are free to download. Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Run Trackr sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Run Trackr has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Steps ships an update monthly, Run Trackr every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
