The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PulseView at none against Voice Recorder Cassette's 1. PulseView also leads on ads (none vs shown). Voice Recorder Cassette's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
