# CounterUps vs Push Ups Challenge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Push Ups Challenge at 100% against CounterUps's 57%. Push Ups Challenge also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). CounterUps's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CounterUps sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Push Ups Challenge asks for nothing beyond the download.

CounterUps holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CounterUps has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of CounterUps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Push Ups Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CounterUps ships an update weekly, Push Ups Challenge every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
