# Radio Code Renault vs OBDocker

The clearest difference is monetization model: OBDocker at freemium against Radio Code Renault's subscription. OBDocker also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Radio Code Renault's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (276 vs 17). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radio Code Renault sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and OBDocker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Radio Code Renault holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio Code Renault has 276 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Radio Code Renault's written reviews are positive against 47% of OBDocker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Radio Code Renault ships an update every 6 weeks, OBDocker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
