PushUp Time makes exercise a daily habit by tying it to something you already do dozens of times a day: picking up your phone. Choose the apps you open most. Before they open, you do a quick set. The camera counts your reps, and once you hit your number, they're yours for as long as you chose. Small sets add up to hundreds of reps a week, without ever planning a workout. FIVE WORKOUTS Push-ups, squats, lunges, jumping jacks and sit-ups. Mix them up to work your whole body. HANDS-FREE REP COUNTING Prop up your phone and move. PushUp Time watches your form and counts each full rep. No wearables, no equipment, no logging. TRAIN AT YOUR LEVEL Set how many reps each break costs: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom length. Start easy and raise the bar as you get stronger. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your reps by day, week and month, build a daily streak, and watch your totals climb for every exercise. BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING • Choose which apps need a set before they open. • Set times of day when a workout is always required. • Give apps a daily allowance before reps are needed. • Lock in focus time when you want no breaks at all. WORKS OFFLINE Sets done without a connection still count and sync when you're back online. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Reps are counted on your phone. Your camera video is never uploaded. Available in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. SUBSCRIPTION PushUp Time requires a subscription to use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PushUp Time at none against App Blocker's shown. PushUp Time also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1). App Blocker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PushUp Time sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and App Blocker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
App Blocker 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
