# Push vs CounterUps

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.

Both are free to download. Push sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per year and CounterUps sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CounterUps holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 31 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Push's written reviews are positive against 55% of CounterUps's.

Push ships an update every 11 days, CounterUps weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
