Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CounterUps at 4.9 against PushUps's 3.7. CounterUps also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 3). PushUps's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
