PulseList is one short list of what actually needs you. Type it, say it, photograph it, or hand over a screenshot. PulseList works out what it asks of you and puts that one line on your list. Clear it when it's done. • Share a list and tick it off together. • Screenshot a restaurant, museum or bar in Google Maps to save it as somewhere to go. • One press from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action Button (iOS 18 or later). • With PulseList Plus, your Reminders and calendars join the same list. PulseList never changes them. PulseList 1.8 holds no server of its own. No account with us, no analytics, no crash reporter. A list you share goes to your iCloud and the iCloud of the person you shared it with, which is Apple's and not ours. Everything else stays on your iPhone. Free to start. PulseList Plus watches on your behalf: your photo library, Reminders, calendar, repeating tasks, the widget and the month view. $1.99 a month with the first three days free, or $29.99 once. Subscriptions renew until cancelled in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://pulselist.io/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Super Productivity at none against PulseList's 2. Super Productivity also leads on ratings volume (40 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). PulseList's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
