Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Trio at 5.0 against PanelPulse's 4.4. PanelPulse's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Trio sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and PanelPulse sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Trio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PanelPulse has 105 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Trio's written reviews are positive against 93% of PanelPulse's.
