# BimmerCode vs Cerebrum Tire Sensor

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BimmerCode at 22K against Cerebrum Tire Sensor's 99. BimmerCode also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BimmerCode 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.

BimmerCode holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BimmerCode has 22K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of BimmerCode's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cerebrum Tire Sensor's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
