PointPulse

PointPulse combines a tennis scoreboard on Apple Watch with point-by-point match analytics on iPhone. Score every point with one tap. PointPulse maps heart rate, calories and movement between score taps to the exact game and score where each interval ended, showing which points demanded the most effort and where the match turned. SCORE-LINKED EFFORT See your longest point interval, most-consuming interval, most-active interval, and the average energy assigned to points you won versus points you lost — each located at the exact score where the interval ended. MATCH INTELLIGENCE Four indices score the character of a match, not just the result: Competitive, Drama, Clutch and Resilience — for you and your opponent. MATCH STORY Every finished match is written up in prose: how it was won, where it turned and which break points decided it. Match Story is free for your newest completed match. REPLAY Scrub through the whole match point by point and watch the score grow. Filter to any set and see momentum swing as it happened. SMARTER SERVE RECORDS Wear Apple Watch on your auxiliary, non-racket wrist. PointPulse can learn your personal serve-motion pattern, suggest likely second serves during later matches and fill missing first/second-serve records after a match. Suggestions never change the score and can always be corrected. Serve motion peak is a relative wrist-motion comparison, not ball speed or racket-impact power. YOUR CAREER Hold %, break %, break-point conversion, tiebreak record, first-serve percentage, aces and double faults — plus career averages for drama, clutch and resilience. SCORING THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY One tap per point on the wrist. Games, sets, tiebreaks, serve order, changeovers and the final result follow from the rules. No-ad, super-tiebreak, Fast4, best-of-three and best-of-five are supported. Distinct haptics for point, game, set and match help you keep score without looking. Undo any point at any time. BUILT FOR THE COURT Runs as a workout session on Apple Watch, so the screen stays live. Heart rate and calories can be saved to Health. Matches sync to iPhone automatically and across your devices with iCloud. Scoring is always free. PointPulse Pro unlocks the full analysis layer, report export and unlimited history. Choose a US$0.99 monthly subscription with a 1-week free trial, or a one-time US$6.99 lifetime purchase. The monthly subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation and can be managed in Account Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PointPulse at weekly against Network Ace's fortnightly. PointPulse also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
