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.
Mesh++ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mesh++ has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Mesh++'s written reviews are positive against 50% of PulseQSO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mesh++ ships an update every 3 months, PulseQSO every 39 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
