# PushLock vs PushClock

The clearest difference is monetization model: PushLock at free with in-app purchases against PushClock's subscription. PushLock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). PushClock's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (6.9K vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PushLock sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and PushClock sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PushClock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushClock has 6.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of PushLock's written reviews are positive against 52% of PushClock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PushLock ships an update weekly, PushClock every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
