Good on You

Upkeep is free to download, and joining any challenge is free. A free host gets Solo, Duel and Small Group challenges of 3 to 15 people, up to 7 days long, with up to 3 duel or group challenges at once. Upkeep Pro costs $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial on the annual plan. It adds groups of 16 to 250 people, challenges up to 30 days and unlimited hosted challenges. A Creator Pass costs $4.99 once and covers one challenge of up to 50 people and 30 days. US prices; local prices differ.

Steps sync from Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, and manually entered steps do not count. Upkeep checks synced days. A day that does not look like real walking can be removed from a challenge result, so the winner earned it.

Absolutely. Challenges are private to invited groups. Your step data is encrypted. We never sell data.

It's your long-term fitness reputation: a number from 0 to 100 that tracks how close you get to your daily step goal, day after day. Every day earns credit for the share of your goal you hit, never zero, and your lowest days each week are left out automatically. Tiers range from Getting Started to Legendary.

Yes, if the watch app shares steps. Upkeep reads steps from Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. When the app for your Fitbit, Garmin, Galaxy Watch or other tracker shares steps with one of them, Upkeep counts them. Some brands do not share steps at all. Our step tracker guide shows the setup for each brand.

Your phone and your watch can both count the same walk. Upkeep counts one step source per day, so the same walk is never counted twice. Steps that you type in by hand never count. To count your watch, pick its app in Profile, Step Data Source. A change of source applies from your next day. Read how to fix a wrong step count.

Open your tracker's app and let it sync. Then open Upkeep and pull down on the home screen to refresh. Make sure Upkeep has permission to read Steps in Apple Health or Health Connect. If your tracker is missing from Step Data Source, tap “Can't find your device? Let us know” on that screen.

Yes. Only the host pays, and members always join free. A Creator Pass ($4.99 once) covers one challenge of up to 50 people. Upkeep Pro covers groups of 16 to 250 people. For a bigger group, email support@upkeep.social.

Upkeep is focused purely on group accountability for walking. On Strava, group challenges are a subscription feature; joining an Upkeep challenge is free. MoveSpring, now Wellbeing+, is sold to employers as a corporate wellness app; Upkeep has a free plan for friends.

Not much. Your solo week has built-in rest days, and your lowest days each week are left out of the score automatically. Beyond that, a short day earns credit for the share of your goal you hit rather than zero, so the score dips gently and climbs back as you resume. It never resets.

The host can set a challenge to start a new round with the same group when it ends. No need to re-invite everyone. Just keep walking.

Yes. Each challenge tracks separately with its own leaderboard and step goal.

Yes. Tapping a name anywhere in the app opens that person's profile, with a head-to-head summary against you and the option to send kudos. You can block anyone who bothers you, and a visibility toggle lets you opt out of profile discovery entirely if you'd rather stay private.
