# Nostur vs ThinkPulse

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nostur at none against ThinkPulse's 3. Nostur also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 2). ThinkPulse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThinkPulse sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Nostur asks for nothing beyond the download.

ThinkPulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nostur has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nostur ships an update every 2 weeks, ThinkPulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
