Verdict
Bloomberg Professional and Sharebite Passport both sit at 3.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Sharebite Passport's written reviews are positive against 36% of Bloomberg Professional's. Sharebite Passport also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.1). Bloomberg Professional's advantage is ratings volume (459 vs 86). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
