# TV Presets vs NetPulse

The clearest difference is rating: TV Presets at 5.0 against NetPulse's 4.4. NetPulse's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Presets sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and NetPulse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Presets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. 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.

TV Presets ships an update fortnightly, NetPulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
