# PushUp Time vs Sqroll

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sqroll at 100% against PushUp Time's 44%. Sqroll also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). PushUp Time's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 Sqroll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PushUp Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushUp Time has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of PushUp Time's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sqroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PushUp Time ships an update weekly, Sqroll every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
