Which one should you pick?
if you want deep hardware integration — RGB LEDs, bass shakers, motion rigs, custom dashboards — across many sims, and don't mind a steeper learning curve.
if you want your history in the cloud across devices and strong league management and AI-difficulty tools.
if your priority is highly customizable, stream-friendly overlays with a big widget library.
if you want a free all-in-one for the F1 game: a live broadcast-style overlay, a voice race engineer, and corner-by-corner analysis that shows exactly where you lose time — all running locally on your PC, no account. And if you run a league: it is the only one of the four with a commentary booth that directs the OBS overlay live, a steward mode with both drivers' telemetry in every incident, and a team-radio page for a friend to be your engineer.
