Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pedometer at free with in-app purchases against Stepz's subscription. Pedometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). Stepz's advantage is ratings volume (33K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
