# Idle Push Up vs Cat Box Fever

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cat Box Fever at 100% against Idle Push Up's 67%. Idle Push Up's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Push Up sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Cat Box Fever sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idle Push Up holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Push Up has 7.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Idle Push Up's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cat Box Fever's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Idle Push Up ships an update fortnightly, Cat Box Fever every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
