Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Xharing at 100% against Microsoft Power BI's 46%. Xharing also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Microsoft Power BI's advantage is ratings volume (98K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
