Lishi Search
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find source-reported Lishi tool applications for a vehicle, or look up vehicles by Lishi key ID. Lishi Search keeps its catalogue on your device so searches work offline. • Search by vehicle make, model and year. • Reverse-search from a Lishi key ID or alias. • Browse 264 key identifiers and 4,586 source-qualified application links. • See source details, market restrictions and lock-specific guidance. • Find documented tools even where vehicle coverage is still pending. • Use the catalogue without creating an account. • Report catalogue issues from the app. The free app includes banner advertising. An optional one-time purchase removes ads permanently. Advertising, purchases, opening source links and issue reports require an internet connection. Lishi Search is an independent reference app for authorised locksmith and automotive work. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Genuine Lishi or vehicle manufacturers. Coverage varies by market, generation and lock type. Always confirm compatibility with the physical lock before selecting a tool.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TIDKit at none against Lishi Search's 1. TIDKit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Lishi Search's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
