# BPM Counter and Tracker vs Heart Pulse

The clearest difference is rating: Heart Pulse at 4.7 against BPM Counter and Tracker's 3.6. Heart Pulse also leads on ratings volume (175 vs 9) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). BPM Counter and Tracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Heart Pulse sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. BPM Counter and Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Heart Pulse holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heart Pulse has 175 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of BPM Counter and Tracker's written reviews are positive against 33% of Heart Pulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BPM Counter and Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Heart Pulse every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
