ChiptuningFile-Service.com is a custom tuning file service based in Zwanenburg, the Netherlands, which also resells tuning tools (source). Like ECUFileMarket, it works with credits and an upload portal. The useful differences are in how credits are priced, how turnaround is described, checksum handling and the extra services around the files. Here they are, with sources.

Which one fits your workshop?
ChiptuningFile-Service may suit you better if you want to buy tools and files from the same supplier, or you’d value dealer-only ECU recovery support.
ECUFileMarket may suit you if you want every file engineered to order, you’d like to see each service’s credit value before you register, and a separately charged, clearly disclosed checksum correction works for you.
