Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CBRE PULSE at free against MACH Energy's subscription. CBRE PULSE also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 8 months). MACH Energy's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
