Pushups unlock TikTok. Push ups protect your focus. Pushup Social puts those two facts together: one pushup earns one minute of screen time, a built-in AI counter tracks every rep, and your whole squad sees the leaderboard in real time. Rep Shield, AI Counter, and Pushup Teams are the three pillars. Every feature is free to start. REP SHIELD - PUSHUPS UNLOCK YOUR APPS Lock TikTok, Instagram, Reels, and other doomscroll apps behind a pushup gate. Do the reps, earn the unlock. 1 pushup = 1 minute of scrolling time. Rep Shield is the only exercise gate with a social layer: your friends see your pushup discipline on the same leaderboard where they compete with you. Targets the root cause of phone addiction - earn the unlock, do not just set a timer. PUSHUP TEAMS Form a team of friends, family, or coworkers - public or private. Live team leaderboard with total reps and average per member. Team-vs-team rankings reset every Monday - beat rival squads to claim the week. Team profiles, member lists, and shareable invite links to grow your squad. Train alone, climb together - every pushup you do moves your team up the board. AI PUSHUP COUNTER Point your iPhone camera and start moving - the AI counts every rep automatically. On-device pose detection: nothing leaves your phone. Real-time form feedback so only clean reps count. Hands-free counting, no phone to tap between sets. SOCIAL LEADERBOARDS Daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time rankings - global podium for everyone. Friends-only leaderboard unlocks with Pushup Pro. Live updates as your network logs sets. Follow friends, react to sets, drop a comment - a social feed built for push ups. STREAKS AND DAILY GOALS Build a daily pushup streak worth protecting. Pick a goal from 20 to 150 reps; custom goals with Pro. Streak visible on your home screen and profile. PUSHUP PRO Follow friends and see every set they log. Friends-only leaderboard. Post and receive comments. Unlimited set history. Custom daily goals and Pro profile badge. 3-day free trial on the weekly plan. REFER A FRIEND, EARN PRO FREE Invite three friends with your referral code - earn a free month of Pushup Pro. BUILT FOR EVERY LEVEL New to push ups? Start at 10 a day and earn 10 minutes of screen time. Chasing 100 pushups in a row? Every attempt is logged. Calisthenics regular? Track volume across weeks, months, and years. The AI pushup counter, Rep Shield gate, and global leaderboard are free. Download Pushup Social. Earn your TikTok. Beat your friends. Climb the board. Privacy: on-device AI means your camera feed never leaves your phone. Network activity (leaderboard, feed, teams, Rep Shield logs) uses the data you log. Full policy in-app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Push Up Challenge at 4.8 against Push Up Social's 4.3. Push Up Challenge also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Push Up Social's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
