Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Salesforce at 353K against Tableau Mobile's 2.8K. Salesforce also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 26%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Salesforce's written reviews are positive against 26% of Tableau Mobile's.
Salesforce ships an update fortnightly, Tableau Mobile every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
