Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PushFit at 4.7 against Pushup Hero's 4.2. PushFit also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 23). Pushup Hero's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PushFit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit has 2.3K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of PushFit's written reviews are positive against 88% of Pushup Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
