Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BA at 100% against Tableau Mobile's 26%. BA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Tableau Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 5). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BA sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month. Tableau Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.
BA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tableau Mobile has 2.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of Tableau Mobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of BA's.
Tableau Mobile ships an update every 5 weeks, BA weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
