Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PushCheck at free against RunBudApp's free with in-app purchases. PushCheck also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 5). RunBudApp's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
