# HackerWeb vs Lenovo Pulse

The clearest difference is price: Lenovo Pulse at Free against HackerWeb's $2.99. Lenovo Pulse also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). HackerWeb's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Lenovo Pulse is free to download; HackerWeb costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for HackerWeb against 5.0 for Lenovo Pulse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HackerWeb has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
