Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BimmerCode at 4.7 against AC Remote Viewer's 3.7. BimmerCode also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). AC Remote Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
