Verdict

The call

BimmerCode and Sync both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of BimmerCode's written reviews are positive against 17% of Sync's. BimmerCode also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
