# BimmerLink vs Kart Track

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kart Track at 100% against BimmerLink's 54%. Kart Track also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BimmerLink's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 11) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BimmerLink sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Kart Track sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kart Track holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BimmerLink has 9.5K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of BimmerLink's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kart Track's.

BimmerLink ships an update every 4 weeks, Kart Track every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
