Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bloomberg B at 4.7 against Symantec's 3.4. Bloomberg B also leads on ratings volume (89 vs 5). Symantec's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
