Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bloomberg B at none against Consortio's 1. Bloomberg B also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 18.0). Consortio's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
