3 Compelling Reasons to Switch to Tower
Both Tower and GitKraken pack powerful features that make Git easier to use. While similar at first glance, some small details can make a big difference in your productivity (and in your wallet)!

We went to great lengths to ensure high stability and stunning performance with beautiful, intuitive interfaces.
2. Simple, Affordable Pricing for Medium and Large Teams
Teams of more than 10 people will be happy to learn that Tower is a much more affordable solution — you will save 36% every year.

Unlike our competitor, we're also happy to see your team grow and we won't charge more if you exceed a certain user limit.
3. Best-in-Class Interactive Rebasing
With our versatile Drag and Drop feature, you can easily cherry-pick, fixup, squash, and move revisions around by simply using your mouse.
