# BASSalicious 2 vs EG Pulse

The clearest difference is rating: EG Pulse at 4.4 against BASSalicious 2's 3.8. EG Pulse also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). BASSalicious 2's advantage is chart position (#183 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

BASSalicious 2 costs $14.99 and EG Pulse $14.99 up front. BASSalicious 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. EG Pulse asks for nothing beyond the download.

EG Pulse holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EG Pulse has 147 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of BASSalicious 2's written reviews are positive against 67% of EG Pulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BASSalicious 2 ships an update every 6 weeks, EG Pulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
