Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bloomberg B at 88% against Poll's 5%. Bloomberg B also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Poll's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.2). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
