How does it compare to SourceTree, which is free?

  First, let me say that Sourcetree is an excellent application, too. However, most people that chose Tower over Sourcetree prefer our approach in regard to user interface, workflows, usability, etc. A visual conflict wizard, a new service account manager, automatic stashing... Tower goes a long way to make using Git both as easy and as comfortable as possible.

  You can see my comment elsewhere, but I've been messing around with Tower 2 some more, and I'm actually finding it pretty confusing. It seems submodule support is still flawed. For example: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s218/sh/755a2a30-db64-4378-bc03-834de97aacda/4953c496cf3ced5fafc9a00dc9034ce4 https://www.evernote.com/shard/s218/sh/755a2a30-db64-4378-bc... I'm not sure why it's showing the submodule folders as something I need to commit. I prefer the combined view that SourceTree has of changed files with your branch history. In Tower 2, they seem to be separated. I do like the breadcrumb trail for going into submodules though. SourceTree opens it as a separate window, which I find annoying.

  Mostly a matter of preference. Several tower users on our team and a SourceTree user. Try both, take cost into consideration, and go with what works for you.
