# Bearable vs Pulse Pressure

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bearable at 81% against Pulse Pressure's 0%. Bearable also leads on ratings volume (6.5K vs 2) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). Pulse Pressure's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bearable sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Pulse Pressure asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pulse Pressure holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bearable has 6.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Bearable's written reviews are positive against 0% of Pulse Pressure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bearable ships an update weekly, Pulse Pressure every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
