Part III: Summary
In sum:
Fetrotech tool software is encrypted, it requires activation. Installation requires a modern laptop. Fetrotech is a good buy once they solve the installation problem.
ECU bench tool does not need activation and software is easier to install. But it is less stable than fetrotech.
Fetrotech has better technical support as it is from pcmtuner team. You can check wiring diagrams in pcmtuner app.
Don’t update both tools online. Update by link once the new version comes out.
