Verdict
J Passport and Pulse both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pulse's written reviews are positive against 30% of J Passport's. Pulse also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). J Passport's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
