Both are free to download. Propnio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. ERCOT asks for nothing beyond the download.
Propnio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ERCOT has 113 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
