Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Emburse Professional at free against Salesforce's freemium. Emburse Professional also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Salesforce's advantage is ratings volume (354K vs 13K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Salesforce against 4.6 for Emburse Professional. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Salesforce has 354K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Salesforce's written reviews are positive against 37% of Emburse Professional's.
Salesforce ships an update fortnightly, Emburse Professional monthly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
