Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pushup Hero at Free against PushFit Pro's $3.99. Pushup Hero also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (88% vs 65%). PushFit Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 23). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PushFit Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit Pro has 1.4K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of PushFit Pro's written reviews are positive against 88% of Pushup Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
