Verdict
ibi™ WebFOCUS® and Tableau Mobile both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of ibi™ WebFOCUS®'s written reviews are positive against 26% of Tableau Mobile's. ibi™ WebFOCUS® also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17). Tableau Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
