# InnerBond vs Pulse

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pulse at 7 against InnerBond's 1. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InnerBond sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for InnerBond against 5.0 for Pulse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pulse has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

InnerBond ships an update monthly, Pulse every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
