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 Tower if developers who will finish the 30-day Pro trial then pick Basic US$69/yr — or Pro US$129/yr when they need self-hosted remotes / Pro workflows, not Fork US$59.99 first
