# Push Up Counter vs GOLDEN Bars

The clearest difference is rating: Push Up Counter at 4.8 against GOLDEN Bars's 4.3. Push Up Counter also leads on ratings volume (828 vs 7). GOLDEN Bars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Push Up Counter sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GOLDEN Bars sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Push Up Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Up Counter has 828 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Push Up Counter's written reviews are positive against 100% of GOLDEN Bars's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Push Up Counter ships an update fortnightly, GOLDEN Bars every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
