Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pulse at none against Jamselect's shown. Pulse also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Jamselect's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
