Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CounterUps at free with in-app purchases against Push's subscription. CounterUps also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (31 vs 10). Push's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
