They are essentially one scanner in 2 brand packages, but you will get some extra features if you pay a little more for Mucar. Check out the comparison to see if the Mucar is the best option for you or if you are just OK with Thinkscan saving some extra bucks.

How to decide?
Right now, Mucar 892BT seems to be better with AI mechanic help and other extra features that Thinkscan does not have.
However, Thinkscan 689BT is cheaper and with free lifetime updates, maybe they will include stuff like an AI mechanic in the future.
Both will get the job done 🙂
If you are on edge, I have separate blog + video reviews for both of them:

Hi, I am Juraj “Yuri” Lukacko. I got frustrated by unhelpful and scammy mechanics, so I decided to learn everything about car diagnostics myself. I test dozens of new car diagnostic tools every month along with learning new strategies to fix and customize cars. About Juraj Lukacko (Yuri)
