Bloomberg Professional also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (459 vs 2).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bloomberg Professional holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloomberg Professional has 459 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Bloomberg Professional's written reviews are positive against 75% of State Street Springboard℠'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bloomberg Professional ships an update every 2 weeks, State Street Springboard℠ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
