# Stepz vs Pedometer

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pedometer at free with in-app purchases against Stepz's subscription. Pedometer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Stepz's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (33K vs 7). On price, update cadence, 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 Pedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stepz holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stepz has 33K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Stepz's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stepz ships an update weekly, Pedometer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
