Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PULSE 87 at 4.9 against 24K Mixtapes's 4.3. PULSE 87 also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and ratings volume (237 vs 39). 24K Mixtapes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
