Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pulseway at 86% against Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's 27%. Pulseway also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ericsson NetCloud Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 614 and 549 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Pulseway's written reviews are positive against 27% of Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pulseway ships an update every 6 weeks, Ericsson NetCloud Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
