Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BimmerCode at 59% against TecCat's 14%. BimmerCode also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and chart position (#89 vs unranked). TecCat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
