Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: FITIV Pulse at free with in-app purchases against BodyState's subscription. FITIV Pulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. FITIV Pulse sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and BodyState sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for FITIV Pulse against 4.6 for BodyState. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FITIV Pulse has 13K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of FITIV Pulse's written reviews are positive against 77% of BodyState's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FITIV Pulse ships an update fortnightly, BodyState every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
