Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Trane® Technician holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trane® Technician has 201 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Trane® Technician's written reviews are positive against 80% of White's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trane® Technician ships an update every 5 weeks, White every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
