I could see the price for a customized tune, logging sending flashing, logging sending flashing etc.. but for a plug n play that just seems like a lot considering any drop n go tune has to have some room for error as all cars are different, thus not being optimized for every car.

I don't own either so I have no skin in the game I'm just curious why spending $250 and getting a plug n play tune from you would be better than spending the money for a Flash tool and using free tunes that people are dedicated to.
This question of plug and play vs custom tunes gets asked a lot. Here is my take on it. A tune created over a few hours in one location can't get close to a tune refined to work well over dozens of hours at varying octane levels, elevations, humidity levels, temperatures, amounts of heat soak, etc. I look at it like carb vs fuel injection. While a carburetor can be setup to make more power than fuel injectors could, the range of conditions when the carb will make more power is so small that it's not a sensible solution.

As for OFT vs Ecutek, that's much too subjective.
