Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmartPlus at 5.0 against Bloomberg B's 4.7. SmartPlus also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.2). Bloomberg B's advantage is ratings volume (89 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartPlus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloomberg B has 89 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Bloomberg B's written reviews are positive against 75% of SmartPlus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bloomberg B ships an update every 2 months, SmartPlus every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
