Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is chart position: BimmerCode at #95 against OBDThink's unranked. BimmerCode also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). OBDThink's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
