Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Trane® Home at 153K against Recorda's 1. Trane® Home also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and device support. Recorda's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
