Here are some of the pros and cons to each:

| |** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>HPTuners</font>  **   |** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Digital Horsepower</font>  **   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>cost to tune 1 pcm</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>$400 - $700</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>~$300</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>additional cost to tune another PCM</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>$100</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>$0</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>ease of use</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Easiest to use</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>A bit more difficult</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>support level</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>supported by HPTuners themselves as well as their forums</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>only community support</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>live scanning</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>yes</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>yes, but it's quite buggy. Need to use a community tool called UVScan</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>supports additional inputs for scans</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>need pro version</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>yes</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>in tool scan playback</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>yes</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>yes, but it's garbage. Need to use excel to read the data in a useful way</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>scanning possible without laptop</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>with pro version</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>no, need laptop connected</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>bluetooth support</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>with pro version</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>none</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>tuning capabilities</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>can do most needed things</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>can read and edit every known table with a community tool called tinytuner</font>   |
|** <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>ease of sharing</font>  **   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>can only share with other hptuners users. File formats are proprietary</font>   | <font 11pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>all files are .bin files or .csv files. Really easy to share and modify</font>   |
|**bugs?**   |Not really  |Yes  |
