# Aura vs Pushscroll

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pushscroll at every 2 days against Aura's every 3 weeks. Pushscroll also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 3.2K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aura sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Pushscroll sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Aura against 4.7 for Pushscroll. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pushscroll has 18K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of Aura's written reviews are positive against 44% of Pushscroll's.

Aura ships an update every 3 weeks, Pushscroll every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
