Pulse Index

real

Insufficient observed signals for a Pulse Index — it needs at least two of four signal families. This product has 1.

Sketch on the Mac App Store's listed site resolved live when we last probed it on Jul 14, 2026, so we mark it verified alive. It has fewer than two observed signal families, so no Pulse Index is composed — the evidence strip shows what is and isn’t present. Observed footprint: 9 functional tags. It has no curated competitive-alternative edges yet, so the comparable set below is functional tag-similarity — read it with the confidence flags.

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Pulse is the observed-activity index real; a dash means the comparable has no observed signal families.

Funding & team

not in source

No disclosed funding in our sources. Funding data covers only ~1% of the corpus (462 rounds across 79K products), so absence here is unknown, not zero— we don't estimate a number we can't source.
