The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pushscroll at 18K against PumpLock's 40. Pushscroll also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 33%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pushscroll sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PumpLock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pushscroll holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.
