Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Screen Time & Focus at 100% against Pushscroll's 44%. Pushscroll's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pushscroll holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pushscroll has 18K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Pushscroll's written reviews are positive against 100% of Screen Time & Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pushscroll ships an update every 3 days, Screen Time & Focus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
