Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My e at 65% against Lightspeed Pulse's 14%. My e also leads on rating (3.6 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (34 vs 3). Lightspeed Pulse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
