RepSquad vs Puuush
Both count reps automatically with your iPhone camera. Puuush (listed as Push Up Counter & Tracker) is built around push-ups: ARKit counting, a plan toward 100 push-ups, events and leaderboards, an Apple Watch app that counts with motion sensors, and Pro at $3.99/month or $29.99/year. RepSquad covers 11 exercises and grades your form A/B/C after each set, with friend Groups and Rep Battles, on-device processing, and Pro from $19.99/year or $49.99 once for lifetime.

A push-up specialist and a multi-exercise counter
Puuush does one exercise in depth. You prop the phone up, and it follows your body with ARKit and counts each push-up with no tapping. There are four workout modes, a personal plan that sets sessions toward a goal such as 100 push-ups in a row, and a Competition mode that only counts strict reps at least 20 cm deep. The social side is events: seasonal challenges, trophies and medals, a monthly rhythm challenge where you push up on the beat, and friends, country and worldwide leaderboards. It records workouts to Apple Health, can post them to Strava, and has an Apple Watch app that counts push-ups with motion sensors when your phone isn't around.
RepSquad counts reps for 11 exercises with the camera and grades your form A, B or C after every set, with a per-rep breakdown. Its social side is people you know: create a Group, share a 6-character code, and run challenges for best set or total reps over a day, week or month, or start a Rep Battle and settle it with a rematch. All AI processing runs on the device and video never leaves the phone; push-ups, squats and jumping jacks work without an account. Gyms and schools can run it as a FitStation kiosk.
Who should pick which
- Pick Puuush if push-ups are the goal, you want a structured plan toward 100, you'd like to count from your Apple Watch, or you want your sessions in Apple Health and Strava.
- Pick RepSquad if you train more than one movement, want a form grade rather than just a count, want to compete with a group of friends or a class, or would rather pay once for lifetime.
- Check your standard first: whatever you count with, see how many push-ups are typical for your age and what counts as a full rep.
Not medical advice: start gradually and stop if something hurts. Puuush is made by WSFU; its name and the listing name "Push Up Counter & Tracker" are used only to identify the product compared. escapethematrix.app makes RepSquad.

View on the App StoreFrequently asked questions
Which app counts push-ups more strictly?
They define a rep differently. Puuush has a Competition mode that only counts strict reps that go at least 20 cm down. RepSquad counts each rep and then grades the set A, B or C for form, with a per-rep breakdown, so a shallow rep shows up in the grade.
Does either app work on Apple Watch?
Puuush does: its watch app counts push-ups with motion sensors without your iPhone and syncs later, and it can show heart rate during the session. RepSquad runs on iPhone and iPad and counts with the camera.
Can I count squats or pull-ups too?
RepSquad counts 11 exercises, including push-ups, squats, pull-ups, lunges, curls, raises and jumping jacks. Puuush's listing describes push-up counting, plans and events.
How much do they cost?
Both are free to download. Puuush Pro is $3.99/month or $29.99/year. RepSquad Pro is $3.99/week, $6.99/month or $19.99/year (monthly and annual include a 3-day trial), or $49.99 once for lifetime. These are US list prices from each App Store listing on October 4, 2026.
Do I need an account?
RepSquad's push-ups, squats and jumping jacks need no account; Groups, Rep Battles and the leaderboard are free with an account. Puuush's listing does not say whether counting requires an account, so check in the app.
Is my camera video uploaded?
RepSquad runs all AI processing on the device, and video never leaves your phone. Puuush's listing says it counts with Apple's ARKit and Vision technology but does not describe where video is processed, so check its privacy label on the App Store.
