Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Push Notification at 4.1 against Push Hero's 3.0. Push Notification also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 2). Push Hero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Push Hero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Push Notification sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Push Notification holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Notification has 58 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Push Hero's written reviews are positive against 67% of Push Notification's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Push Hero ships an update every 2 days, Push Notification fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
