Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NDR Mobile at 88% against Bloomberg Professional's 33%. NDR Mobile also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bloomberg Professional's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (460 vs 27). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
