Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anaplan at 75% against Salesforce's 49%. Anaplan also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Salesforce's advantage is ratings volume (353K vs 21) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Salesforce holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Salesforce has 353K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Salesforce's written reviews are positive against 75% of Anaplan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
