Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Pulse at freemium against Just Ours's subscription. Pulse also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Just Ours sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Just Ours 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.
Just Ours ships an update every 2 weeks, Pulse every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
