# Stepz vs Step Tracker · Step Counter

The clearest difference is monetization model: Step Tracker · Step Counter at free with in-app purchases against Stepz's subscription. Step Tracker · Step Counter also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Stepz's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (33K vs 1.5K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stepz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Step Tracker · Step Counter sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
