# Pushscroll vs Betterself

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pushscroll at free with in-app purchases against Betterself's subscription. Pushscroll also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (18K vs 10). Betterself's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 44%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pushscroll sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Betterself sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Pushscroll against 4.8 for Betterself. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pushscroll has 18K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Pushscroll's written reviews are positive against 80% of Betterself's.

Pushscroll ships an update every 2 days, Betterself every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
