# walk.App vs Pedometer

The clearest difference is rating: walk.App at 4.4 against Pedometer's 3.6. walk.App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (164 vs 5). Pedometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (95% vs 79%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. walk.App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pedometer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

walk.App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: walk.App has 164 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of walk.App's written reviews are positive against 95% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

walk.App ships an update every 2 months, Pedometer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
