Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TeCar at none against OBD Scan Pro's shown. TeCar also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). OBD Scan Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
