Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BlurBlend at 100% against NetPulse's 33%. BlurBlend also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). NetPulse's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BlurBlend sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and NetPulse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BlurBlend holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetPulse has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of BlurBlend's written reviews are positive against 33% of NetPulse's.
BlurBlend ships an update every 6 weeks, NetPulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
