Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Instant Pulse at 4.6 against Blood Pressure(BP) Diary's 4.0. Instant Pulse also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 5). Blood Pressure(BP) Diary's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Instant Pulse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Instant Pulse has 5.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Blood Pressure(BP) Diary's written reviews are positive against 22% of Instant Pulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
