# PushFit vs CounterUps

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PushFit at none against CounterUps's 9. PushFit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 31). CounterUps's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CounterUps sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. PushFit asks for nothing beyond the download.

CounterUps holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit has 2.4K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of PushFit's written reviews are positive against 57% of CounterUps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PushFit ships an update every 3 months, CounterUps weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
