Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Steps at 4.7 against Steps's 4.0. Steps also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Steps's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 5.5K 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 80% of Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steps ships an update every 2 weeks, Steps weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
