Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CounterUps at 4.9 against Push's 4.4. CounterUps also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 41 months). Push's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CounterUps sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Push asks for nothing beyond the download.
CounterUps holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 30 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Push's written reviews are positive against 55% of CounterUps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Push ships an update every 41 months, CounterUps every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
