The solid ElliottGarage sequencing engine has been updated and expanded, and you can now create ultra precise trap rhythms, hip hop grooves, electronic beats, rock and acoustic drum tracks and more. EG Pulse comes with more than 40 drumkits and more than 180 grooves already included to cover many different genres from EDM, House, Trap, Hip Hop and Electronic Music to Rock, Metal, Reggae or Jazz; moreover, you can create your custom drumkit importing samples with simple drag & drop or combining the builtin kits, and you can modify them inside the app with the sample editor (sample start, attack time, release time and sample length).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AMDJS at Free against EG Pulse's $14.99. AMDJS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). EG Pulse's advantage is ratings volume (147 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
