Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PushUp Time at freemium against ScreenEarn's subscription. PushUp Time also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 4). ScreenEarn's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
