# Open vs ThinkPulse

The clearest difference is rating: ThinkPulse at 5.0 against Open's 2.9. ThinkPulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Open's advantage is ratings volume (304 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Open sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and ThinkPulse sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ThinkPulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open has 304 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Open ships an update fortnightly, ThinkPulse every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
