# BimmerLink vs Cerebrum Tire Sensor

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BimmerLink at 9.5K against Cerebrum Tire Sensor's 99. BimmerLink also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BimmerLink sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Cerebrum Tire Sensor sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BimmerLink holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BimmerLink has 9.5K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two.
