Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StepsFit at 5.0 against Steps's 4.0. StepsFit also leads on ads (none vs shown). Steps's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
