Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Microsoft Power BI at 98K against Apparound's 1. Microsoft Power BI also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (46% vs 33%). Apparound's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Apparound holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. 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: 46% of Microsoft Power BI's written reviews are positive against 33% of Apparound'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, Apparound every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
