Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AudioPoint at 100% against Microsoft Power BI's 47%. AudioPoint also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Microsoft Power BI's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 22 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Microsoft Power BI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Power BI has 98K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Microsoft Power BI's written reviews are positive against 100% of AudioPoint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Microsoft Power BI ships an update fortnightly, AudioPoint every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
