# Pushscroll vs Strut

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Strut at 100% against Pushscroll's 44%. Strut also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Pushscroll's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 17) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pushscroll sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Strut sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Strut holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pushscroll has 18K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Pushscroll's written reviews are positive against 100% of Strut's.

Pushscroll ships an update every 3 days, Strut every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
