Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BimmerUtility at none against MKFlasher's 11. BimmerUtility also leads on rating (3.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). MKFlasher's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
