# PushUp Time vs App Blocker

The clearest difference is monetization model: App Blocker at free with in-app purchases against PushUp Time's subscription. App Blocker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). PushUp Time's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 1). 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 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 November 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
