# FIXD OBD2 Scanner vs AssetHelm

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 (#43 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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.
