Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pulse Newport at none against Biter's 2. Pulse Newport also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Biter's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (493 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
