# Rewired vs PushLock

The clearest difference is rating: Rewired at 4.8 against PushLock's 4.2. Rewired also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 5). PushLock's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 45%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rewired sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PushLock sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rewired holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rewired has 1.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Rewired's written reviews are positive against 57% of PushLock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rewired ships an update every 9 days, PushLock weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
