Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Asel at none against BimmerCode's 2. Asel also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). BimmerCode's advantage is chart position (#95 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
