# Parity vs NetPulse

The clearest difference is price: NetPulse at Free against Parity's $1.99. NetPulse also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Parity's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

NetPulse is free to download; Parity costs $1.99 up front. NetPulse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months. Parity asks for nothing beyond the download.

NetPulse holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetPulse has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Parity's written reviews are positive against 33% of NetPulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Parity ships an update every 2 weeks, NetPulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
