Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BimmerCode at 4.7 against GIR Mobile ID's 3.0. BimmerCode also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 2). GIR Mobile ID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
