Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BetzOn at 100% against PulpMX 2.0's 67%. BetzOn also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). PulpMX 2.0's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (41 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PulpMX 2.0 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and BetzOn sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BetzOn holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PulpMX 2.0 has 41 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of PulpMX 2.0's written reviews are positive against 100% of BetzOn's.
PulpMX 2.0 ships an update every 3 weeks, BetzOn every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
