Hmm I see sounds like a neat possibility.

Well the differences I have seen so far are:
Inmotion around since 1997. Seemingly identical Flash Programmer Tool can be used on multiple ECU’s.
Unsure of price till I contact them. All website tunings come with a lifetime warranty and free upgrades/downgrades.
Green Diesel Engineering around since 2009. You pay $195.00 for a seemingly identical Flash Programmer Tool can store stock and 2 other tunes. $500.00 for first tune and $100.00 for each additional tune. The programmer can only be used for your jeep ECU tied to VIN. 60 day money back guaranty and 1 year warranty.
Kerma TDI around since 2013. Allows for customizability can send custom tunes and upgrade tunes at any time, free of charge in most cases. You pay $649.00 for a seemingly identical Flash Programmer Tool can store stock tune and 2 other tunes I assume free of charge custom tunes. Unsure if it can be used on more than one ECU and warranty till I contact them I think its store credit.

These additional benefits may be reflected in the price.
As the adage goes "You get what you pay for"...
