Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pulse · holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 29 respectively.

Pulse · ships an update every 3 months, Pulse Grow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 30, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
