Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Desi Smart at none against BimmerCode's 2. Desi Smart also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). BimmerCode's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 1) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
