What do you mean "scoring function"? You mean some sort of trending calculation algorithm that weights likes, posts, recency, etc? Without that (if that's what's missing from this version), how does this version even work out what's trending?
This one has multiple algorithm choices based on a global calculation of things like views, likes, replies, actions within X minutes, etc.
A more complex scoring function could take into consideration permissions, what a user has followed, threads a user has already replied to, and much much more. It could also cache this result PER USER so that its more customized. Its hard to push this onto a standard XenForo install because of the amount of RAM and database resources it would require. I'm not necessarily sure what that line is, but we kept this system usable on really any size server.
We are considering adding a global rank calculator so you can see how many "spots" a thread has climbed or fallen, but right now this feature is only in our Pro version.

Also why not add this functionality for this version? Without this functionality what trending we have now ?

From my testing, the Trending tab always stays on the navigation bar even when any trending configurations are turned off. Now if you disable the add-on when your not using it sure it will go away or you can disable it in the public navigation menu provided in XenForo under Options.
If your users are looking to view the top trending threads, they can view them on the trending tab before clicking "Trending Threads".

This version of trending offers a few different calculations you can use to determine the trending index. For threads the options are:
Average replies per minute since the thread was created
Average views per minute since the thread was created
average replies per minute + average views per minute (basically just a combination of the two above, though I think I'm going to weight number of replies a bit higher than the views in a future update)
In the next update I think I'm going to add support for number of likes on the first post as well. The main difference between this and Pro is that pro actually analyzes the content individually so we can do more advanced things (for example, if a thread is new and has already received X posts we can add Y extra points to its "trending index" to favor that over older content that has had less activity, and you can weight your forums to automatically give a higher index than other forums)

Okay how much trending pro will be? I mean if you release it as an addon or if you only do it as your custom install method on a dedicated server with resources. In which ever method how much it will cost?
Don't say we don't know yet. Because some rough pricing info will help because then we can decide we should wait for your trending pro or not.
Will it be over $100, $500 or less than that? At least something like that.

Isn't that a bit Catch-22?
You're effectively telling us not to buy this one as a much better version will be available. But as this won't then sell very well, you don't know what market there is for the Pro version so you might decide not to release it due to lack of interest.

I believe a ticket has been created that relates to this same issue. Our developers are looking into it and hope to have a fix for it in the next update.
