Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Moonpair at every 4 days against Pulse's every 3 weeks. Moonpair also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 7). Pulse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Moonpair sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moonpair has 37 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Pulse ships an update every 3 weeks, Moonpair every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
