Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sweatscroll at none against PushUp Time's shown. Sweatscroll also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (75 vs 13). PushUp Time's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sweatscroll holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sweatscroll has 75 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Sweatscroll's written reviews are positive against 50% of PushUp Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sweatscroll ships an update every 3 weeks, PushUp Time weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
