Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FITIV Pulse at 4.6 against Oxun Rowing's 4.0. FITIV Pulse also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1). Oxun Rowing's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FITIV Pulse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FITIV Pulse has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of FITIV Pulse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Oxun Rowing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FITIV Pulse ships an update fortnightly, Oxun Rowing monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
