Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PushTracker™ at 3.5 against NuStep's 2.3. PushTracker™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 49 months). NuStep's advantage is review sentiment (21% vs 4%) and ratings volume (25 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PushTracker™ holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NuStep has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of NuStep's written reviews are positive against 4% of PushTracker™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NuStep ships an update every 49 months, PushTracker™ every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
