Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pulsoid ships an update fortnightly, Lowlight.gg weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
