Verdict
Pulsoid and Lowlight.gg both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Lowlight.gg's written reviews are positive against 51% of Pulsoid's. Lowlight.gg also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (32 vs 5). Pulsoid's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lowlight.gg sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Pulsoid asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pulsoid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lowlight.gg has 32 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Pulsoid's written reviews are positive against 95% of Lowlight.gg's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pulsoid ships an update fortnightly, Lowlight.gg weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
