Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wahoo at 4.7 against TimTam Pulse's 2.7. Wahoo also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (43K vs 16). TimTam Pulse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
