IMPORTANT INFORMATION A compatible Apple Watch is required for regular heart rate measurements and wrist-based alerts. PULSALARM requires permission to access your heart rate data through Apple Health. Without this permission, PULSALARM cannot measure your heart rate and will continuously display a green “0”.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Wired at Free against Pulsalarm's $1.99. Pulsalarm's advantage is chart position (#59 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
