Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pulse at none against Jamselect's shown. Pulse also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (39 vs 6). Jamselect's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
