Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Push Up Counter at none against Circus Abs's shown. Push Up Counter also leads on ratings volume (154 vs 2). Circus Abs's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
