# WorldPulsePro vs World Now

The clearest difference is price: WorldPulsePro at Free against World Now's $3.99. WorldPulsePro also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.4) and review sentiment (33% vs 7%). World Now's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 2) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

WorldPulsePro is free to download; World Now costs $3.99 up front. WorldPulsePro sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and World Now sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorldPulsePro holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Now has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of WorldPulsePro's written reviews are positive against 7% of World Now's.

WorldPulsePro ships an update every 2 months, World Now every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
