Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft Power BI at 4.7 against Equiem's 4.3. Microsoft Power BI also leads on ratings volume (98K vs 3) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). Equiem's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 46%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft Power BI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Power BI has 98K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Microsoft Power BI's written reviews are positive against 63% of Equiem's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Microsoft Power BI ships an update fortnightly, Equiem monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
