Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Partsbond at Free against OBDII Trouble Codes's $3.99. Partsbond also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 25 months). OBDII Trouble Codes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
