You have to buy 5 boards just as you might have to buy 5 pfcs to run them on 5 cars simotaneously. You are comparing hardware cost not software access being limited by licenses.
You should be saying if you buy 5 PFCs you can have 5 tuned cars, just as if you buy 5 Boards you can have 5 tuned cars.
On a Standalone ems you don't need any license or allowance for the software. You can hook up the laptop to any car with said EMS and just tune it after downloading the free software off the companies website. Nothing to hold you back no matter what car has the unit. There is no limit t how many units you can tune at all, it's infinite as long as the unit has free download-able or requestable software from the manufacturer.
Also then the only thing separating shops is who has the best experience with that particular unit. It's not based on who has the License to open up all the functions or who paid to actually get access to tune a customers unit if he happens to bring on in on the off chance.
Obviously the NIS-Tune boards are cheaper than EMS Standalone ems so this is a plus in the hardware department especially if you can have the install performed for a limited cost or if you do it yourself
