# PushUpLock vs MoveFirst

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PushUpLock at 85% against MoveFirst's 0%. PushUpLock also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). MoveFirst's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PushUpLock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and MoveFirst sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PushUpLock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushUpLock has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of PushUpLock's written reviews are positive against 0% of MoveFirst's.

PushUpLock ships an update every 2 weeks, MoveFirst every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
