Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pulse for X at 5.0 against TweetPlay's 3.9. Pulse for X also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months). TweetPlay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
