Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pulse at none against Bond's shown. Pulse also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Bond sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Bond 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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
