# PushUp Time vs Detachd

The clearest difference is monetization model: PushUp Time at freemium against Detachd's subscription. PushUp Time also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 5) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, 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 Detachd sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PushUp Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushUp Time has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PushUp Time ships an update weekly, Detachd every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
