Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Chanify at every 6 days against PushDeer's every 3 weeks. Chanify also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%). PushDeer's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 8). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PushDeer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushDeer has 43 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Chanify's written reviews are positive against 90% of PushDeer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chanify ships an update every 6 days, PushDeer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
