Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AssetHelm at 100% against FIXD OBD2 Scanner's 60%. AssetHelm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). FIXD OBD2 Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 2) and chart position (#47 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FIXD OBD2 Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and AssetHelm sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AssetHelm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FIXD OBD2 Scanner has 26K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of FIXD OBD2 Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of AssetHelm's.
