Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pulse 1024 at none against MIDI Score's 1. Pulse 1024 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). MIDI Score's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
