Scroll Survival turns focus time into a game you actually want to finish. Scroll Survival rewards finishing, not just blocking. Complete a session and your village grows with new villagers and buildings. If you need to unlock early, complete a quick real-world challenge first. Stopping early never earns village progress. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps, app categories, and websites you want to block. - Start a focus session, or set a recurring routine. - Stay off your phone until the timer ends. - Finish, and your village grows. Your streak lives on. FEATURES - Focus sessions: Choose 5, 15, 25, 45, 60, or 90 minutes and block your selected apps for the whole session. - Scheduled routines: Set recurring blocking schedules for work, study, sleep, the gym, or wind down, with custom days and times. - App and website blocking: Block social apps, video apps, games, websites, and more using Apple Screen Time. You decide what gets blocked. - Grow your village: Every finished session adds villagers and unlocks new buildings in your cozy 3D world. - Streaks: Protect a daily streak by completing at least one session each day. - Unlock Challenge: Need to unlock early? Complete a quick real-world task first, like scanning an object, walking 100 steps, or doing a pose challenge. - Progress and insights: Track your focused hours, sessions, and streaks over time. *All of the above features require an active free trial or subscription.* Scroll Survival uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to block apps right on your device. No account needed. *Note: You can try Scroll Survival with a free trial. After it ends, an active subscription is required to keep using the features listed above.* Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Privacy Policy: https://scrollsurvival.com/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scroll Survival at none against PushUp Time's shown. Scroll Survival also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). PushUp Time's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 Scroll Survival sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scroll Survival holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. 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.
PushUp Time ships an update weekly, Scroll Survival every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
