Before you tap
Quick answers.
Is Pulse free to download?
Yep. The core challenges, squads and badge wall are free forever. A Pro tier unlocks ghost racing and custom badge drops.
Do I need a smartwatch?
Nope. Your phone's built-in motion sensors track steps, runs and distance. A watch just adds heart-rate flair if you want it.
Can I compete solo?
Totally. Solo streaks and personal records live on their own board, so you can grind your numbers without a crew.
