Impulse vs Pop: What are the differences?

Developers describe Impulse as "Dynamic JS Animations for the Mobile Web". Create animations that flow naturally from the user's movements. Rather than animating properties for a set amount of time, impulse takes a start position, end position, and velocity. On the other hand, Pop is detailed as "The extensible iOS and OS X animation library behind Facebook's Paper". Pop is an extensible animation engine for iOS and OS X. In addition to basic static animations, it supports spring and decay dynamic animations, making it useful for building realistic, physics-based interactions. The API allows quick integration with existing Objective-C codebases and enables the animation of any property on any object. It's a mature and well-tested framework that drives all the animations and transitions in Paper.

Impulse and Pop belong to "Mobile Prototyping & Interaction Design Tools" category of the tech stack.

Impulse and Pop are both open source tools. Pop with 19.7K GitHub stars and 2.9K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Impulse with 1.63K GitHub stars and 77 GitHub forks.

What are some alternatives to Impulse and Pop?
warp
warp lets you securely share your terminal with one simple command: warp open. When connected to your warp, clients can see your terminal exactly as if they were sitting next to you. You can also grant them write access, the equivalent of handing them your keyboard.
Lottie
Lottie is a mobile library for Android and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile!
Framer
Framer is a JavaScript framework that makes creating realistic prototypes a breeze – complete with filters, spring physics and full 3D effects. Framer Generator is a desktop app that imports the resources and folder hierarchy from Photoshop files (Sketch coming soon). Import your design and immediately start to add interaction and animation.
ProtoPie
It is the easiest tool used to turn your UI/UX design ideas into highly interactive prototypes for mobile, desktop, web, all the way to IoT. ProtoPie runs on macOS & Windows and the player app is on iOS and Android.
Material
Express your creativity with Material, an animation and graphics framework for Google's Material Design and Apple's Flat UI in Swift.
