# Push Up Challenge vs Push Up Social

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.

Both are free to download. Push Up Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Push Up Social sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.09 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Push Up Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Push Up Challenge's written reviews are positive against 75% of Push Up Social's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Push Up Challenge ships an update every 2 months, Push Up Social every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
