Our take
Pick Fork if developers who will finish evaluation then buy US$59.99 for that OS — not Tower Basic US$69/yr first unless they want seats + Mac/Windows in one subscription, and not if they need Tower Pro self-hosted remotes / team admin. Pick Kaleidoscope if mac developers who will finish the 7-day trial then pay $8/mo to merge in a dedicated viewer — not Tower $69/yr first unless they want a full Git client.
