# Scale vs PUSH & POP

Scale and PUSH & POP both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of PUSH & POP's written reviews are positive against 55% of Scale's. Scale's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (50K vs 3.3K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scale sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and PUSH & POP sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Scale against 4.6 for PUSH & POP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scale has 50K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Scale's written reviews are positive against 87% of PUSH & POP's.

Scale ships an update weekly, PUSH & POP every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
