Pulse vs iCheckup

Pulse is a diagnostics app designed to help verify the core functionality of your iPhone. With Pulse, you can run guided, interactive checks for many essential device features, allowing you to confirm that key components are responding as expected using system-provided APIs and user-confirmed results. All tests run entirely on device, with no accounts, tracking, or data collection.

iCheckup helps you evaluate a used iPhone or iPad before buying or selling. The app guides you through checks for device details, display, cameras, audio, sensors, battery, connectivity, and ownership status. iCheckup uses only public iOS and iPadOS APIs, and it clearly explains what can be assessed automatically and what is not available to third-party apps. Reports stay on the device unless you choose to share them. iCheckup is not an Apple assessment, does not determine the origin of Apple parts, and does not access non-public Apple diagnostic information.
