Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BimmerFix at 100% against EVScanner's 32%. BimmerFix also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). EVScanner's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (95 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. EVScanner sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and BimmerFix sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EVScanner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EVScanner has 95 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of EVScanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of BimmerFix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EVScanner ships an update every 3 weeks, BimmerFix every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
