Dividend Pulse review
A local, manual-first iPhone tracker for dividend income and portfolio progress.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Dividend Pulse is an iPhone app for investors who want to track dividend and ETF holdings manually rather than link a brokerage account. Users can organize stocks and ETFs by account and view estimated monthly and annual dividend income, portfolio value, cost basis, and unrealized gains or losses. It also tracks progress toward a monthly dividend goal. The app is for tracking and estimates, not trading or investment advice, so it suits people who want a personal record rather than a tool for placing trades or getting recommendations.
The plan structure is straightforward: Free provides a basic dividend and portfolio dashboard and supports up to five holdings. Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly both unlock unlimited holdings. The published plan details do not describe other differences between the two Pro options, so the clearest reason to move from Free is needing to track more holdings. That makes the free tier a practical fit for a small portfolio, while investors with broader portfolios would need a Pro plan.
The main trade-off is manual upkeep: holdings are added by the user, with stock prices saved when available. In return, brokerage linking is not required, and the developer says holdings are stored locally on the device. This setup will appeal to people who value local tracking and want to manage their own portfolio records. It is less suitable for anyone who wants brokerage-connected importing or prefers an automated workflow. Dividend Pulse is a focused tracker for income estimates and goal progress, rather than a trading or investment-advice service.
