The App comes in at: ~€44
The dongle (Generation 2): €49.90 (with the €5 discount)
The Adapter for round pin connector: €9.90 (only needed for 2001 or older cars)
Dongle delivery to Ireland €8.90

So it is about €100 - 110 all in. Not cheap, but a generic code reader is about €50 but doesn't cover any module beyond the DME (engine management).

This app is very easy to use compared to the INPA/DIS/ISID, however it doesn't have some of the drill down & guided troubleshooting that DIS/ISID has.

Coding Options:

As John has said most of the Car Key Memory functions are code-able using the Carly app. From what I have seen is that the coding feature range is model dependent with the e9x having the broadest range with e6x close behind. However as you can see from the first image new coding capability is being added with each release, this version added e36, e34, e46, 39, etc.

Additional point: I had a vLink WiFi dongle with the app initially and the coding function didn't always work. Also, I think as functionality is added the requirement for the "official" Generation 2 dongle.
