Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Gather Communities at 201 against ThinkPulse's 2. ThinkPulse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThinkPulse sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Gather Communities sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $30.00 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ThinkPulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gather Communities has 201 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ThinkPulse ships an update every 4 days, Gather Communities every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
