Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BuildingPulse at 5.0 against SLIKR's 3.4. BuildingPulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SLIKR's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
