Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FactSet at 4.6 against Acuris's 1.8. FactSet also leads on ratings volume (374 vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Acuris's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FactSet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FactSet has 374 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Acuris's written reviews are positive against 18% of FactSet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Acuris ships an update every 2 months, FactSet every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
