Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pixel Gen at 100% against Pulse's 33%. Pixel Gen also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Pulse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Pixel Gen asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Gen has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pixel Gen's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixel Gen ships an update every 2 days, Pulse every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
