Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BuildingPulse at 5.0 against InstantMarkets's 3.7. BuildingPulse also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). InstantMarkets's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
