# WebDebug vs Pulse

The clearest difference is monetization model: WebDebug at free with in-app purchases against Pulse's subscription. WebDebug also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 2) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). Pulse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebDebug sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebDebug has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of WebDebug's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pulse's.

WebDebug ships an update every 2 months, Pulse every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
