# WebSSH vs Pulse

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebSSH at 82% against Pulse's 33%. WebSSH also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (44 vs 2). Pulse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebSSH sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebSSH has 44 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of WebSSH's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WebSSH ships an update every 5 weeks, Pulse every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
