Does anyone uses Git Tower and have already tried Souretree which is free?

I currently use Sourcetree but I have seen on internet that many people are also praising and using Git Tower. Which is not a free app. I wonder why people pay for a Git GUI while SourceTree is free.

Is anyone here using Git tower and can tell what things are better in it compare to Sourcetree?

Hi Jitendra;

Thanks for your question. I've had a chance to use SourceTree, Smart Git and Tower. In my opinion, Tower is the clear favorite even though the other tools are free. What makes Tower stand out is its fantastic UI, documentation and attention to detail. Highly recommended and certainly worth paying for.

FYI. They also provide special pricing for students.

Regards;
