Today we’re announcing that Pulse is free across all platforms! We would like to thank our early users, who have given us both time and money to help build the product to this stage. You have given us the resources to build a company dedicated to improving your news reading experience. We’re now a team of 8 people working very hard to make Pulse better everyday. As reflected in its reviews and ratings, Pulse has come a long way from its initial launch, and is hugely popular with our users. Making the app free will enable more of your friends to join Pulse thereby improving discovery of interesting content via traditional and social channels.
