Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ConvertPilot at 100% against BimmerLink's 54%. ConvertPilot also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BimmerLink's advantage is ratings volume (9.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
