# Pulse vs Poseidon client

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Poseidon client at none against Pulse's 6. Poseidon client also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Pulse's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and device support. On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pulse sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Poseidon client asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Pulse against 5.0 for Poseidon client. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pulse has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
