Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: PushCheck at every 5 days against PushFit's every 3 months. PushCheck also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 58%). PushFit's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PushFit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit has 2.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of PushFit's written reviews are positive against 67% of PushCheck'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, PushCheck every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
