# AC vs Impulse One

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Impulse One at 100% against AC's 55%. Impulse One also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). AC's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (270 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Impulse One asks for nothing beyond the download.
