Side by side
MiniMove and PushUp Time, criterion by criterion.
| Criterion | MiniMove | PushUp Time |
|---|---|---|
| How you unlock | One Move of 90 seconds or less (squats, a breath, a glass of water…), checked by timer, taps, motion or pedometer. No camera needed. | On-device camera counts push-ups, squats or sit-ups; a set unlocks apps for the duration you picked. |
| Body and mind variety | 46 Moves in 4 families: Body, Breathe, Mind and Care. | Body only: push-ups, squats and sit-ups. |
| Discreet mode in public | Yes: one tap swaps in an invisible Move such as a breath, an intention check or calf raises. | None listed: the camera needs to see you exercise. |
| Unlock timer | Real use: 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes spent in the app, capped at twice that on the clock. | Unlock periods of 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes; we found no mention of usage-based timing. |
| Tone | Positive: Moves are earned, never paid, and skipped scrolls are celebrated. | Workout-first. Reviews mention a paywall after setup, with no close button, and a forced sign-in. |
| Free version | Core loop free forever, no account: 3 apps, 13 Moves, unlimited unlocks. | No documented free tier: the paywall appears after setup. |
| Price (US App Store) | MiniMove+ $8.99/month or $49.99/year, each with a 7-day trial, or $119.99 once (€9.99, €59.99, €129.99). | $12.99/month or $29.99/year, plus weekly plans and a $59.99 “Yearly+”. Rated 4.7 (12K+ ratings). |
| Web dashboard | Coming soon: Bank, streak and MiniScore on a big screen, with an optional account. | None found: pushuptimeapp.com is a one-page site. |
