# Milthm vs Pulse

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Milthm at 275 against Pulse's 3. Milthm also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Milthm against 5.0 for Pulse.
