# Pushscroll vs Pushup

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pushup at 100% against Pushscroll's 43%. Pushup also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 23) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Pushscroll's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (18K vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pushscroll sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Pushup asks for nothing beyond the download.
