# PushUp Time vs BlockIt

The clearest difference is ratings volume: PushUp Time at 12K against BlockIt's 15. BlockIt's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 45%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PushUp Time sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and BlockIt sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 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 PushUp Time against 4.7 for BlockIt. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushUp Time has 12K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of PushUp Time's written reviews are positive against 65% of BlockIt's.
