Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kickstarter at none against DealPullr's 1. Kickstarter also leads on ratings volume (60K vs 1). DealPullr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

DealPullr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kickstarter has 60K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Kickstarter ships an update every 4 weeks, DealPullr every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
