Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bloomberg Professional at 3.7 against ICE mobile's 2.4. Bloomberg Professional also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 9%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). ICE mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
