# Push vs CounterUps

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Push at none against CounterUps's 9. Push also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). CounterUps's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CounterUps sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Push asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Push against 4.9 for CounterUps. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CounterUps has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Push's written reviews are positive against 55% of CounterUps's.

Push ships an update every 3 months, CounterUps every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
