Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KE2 Service Tool holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Trane Pivot's written reviews are positive against 50% of KE2 Service Tool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
