Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StepUp Pedometer Step Counter at 4.8 against One Million Steps's 2.5. StepUp Pedometer Step Counter also leads on ratings volume (138K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). One Million Steps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StepUp Pedometer Step Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepUp Pedometer Step Counter has 138K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of StepUp Pedometer Step Counter's written reviews are positive against 75% of One Million Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StepUp Pedometer Step Counter ships an update every 3 days, One Million Steps fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
