Verdict

The call

Tableau Mobile and IA Visualizer both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of IA Visualizer's written reviews are positive against 26% of Tableau Mobile's. IA Visualizer also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17). Tableau Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
