Well, in theory the more expensive diagnostic will include doing some electrical checks, and the cheap one will just be checking the pressure. If there isn't enough refrigerant, they are supposed to test for leaks before refilling the system. I spent several hundred dollars over a couple years that way. I would ask what they do for that price first.
In the end, it turned out the radiator electric fan which is used for the condenser was not working on the low speed setting. Over time the A/C overheated in start-stop traffic, and leaked out bit by bit through the relief valve. Fixed the fan (low speed resistor had shorted/burned out), recharged the system, and it works.
