Push your home workout to the next level with PushupChamp. PushupChamp works like no other pushup app by counting pushups with Apple's Vision Framework. Simply place your phone in a stand or against the wall and start pushing up. Work on your fitness with 5 different modes. --- Stages --- Each stage contains 20 pre defined levels. These levels are slowly increasing in difficulty. The goal is to complete all levels in a stage and advance to the next stage. --- Record --- Beat your own record by doing as many pushups as you can without taking a break. 5 Seconds without pushup ends the game. --- 30 Days --- The goal of 30 days is to steadily increase the amount of pushups you can do. The amount of pushups per day are based on the amount of pushups you do on day 0. --- Time Attack --- Select a time and challenge yourself to beat the record. You can take as many breaks as you want and there is no 5 second rule in this mode. There are some challenging records already set for you to beat. --- Custom --- Want to finish off your chest workout by doing 3 sets of 20 reps with 1 minute rest in between? Or maybe you would like to do 10 sets of 10 reps with 30 seconds rest? Build your own level in this mode to fit your skill level. Keep on pushing!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PushFit at none against PushupChamp's 1. PushFit also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 6). PushupChamp's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 58%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PushFit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit has 2.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of PushFit's written reviews are positive against 83% of PushupChamp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PushFit ships an update every 3 months, PushupChamp weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
