A free step challenge app with no paywall.
Global Steps is the free step challenge app where every walk ranks on a live worldwide leaderboard. Rolling 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day step challenges — no subscription required to compete.
Most step challenge apps gate the leaderboard behind a subscription or a 7-day trial. Global Steps doesn't. The free step challenge app gives you the live global race, all three rolling windows, badges, and your held-rank timer — no card, no upgrade prompt to compete.
