Both are free to download. Clutch Picks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.49 per month and SquadUp Pulse sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SquadUp Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clutch Picks has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
