Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pulse at none against Section 8 Search's shown. Pulse also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Section 8 Search's advantage is ratings volume (809 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
