Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PULSE 87 at none against MIDI Scope's 3. PULSE 87 also leads on ratings volume (237 vs 20) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). MIDI Scope's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
