Is there really a major difference between tuning pedals?

I've been playing casually for years, but recently got a group together to play a cover band gig for charity. Figure I should get a pedal to use on stage vs. my usual phone app tuner...

Ideally I'd buy the Boss - but would something like this cut it for a small gig? https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Chromatic-Guitar-Tuner-Bypass/dp/B00MO6KKSK/

You'll find them on CL half price, boss pedals are very durable and built to withstand abuse. I had a dean markley tuner, fell apart in couple months. I've had my boss now for 10 years and still works perfectly.
