GTO+ can essentially do everything that pio can, and is even in many ways superior. Some people assume that because we offer it for less, there must be a reason for this. However, the reason for the pricing is simply that we don't want to charge regular consumers huge amounts of money for gaming-related software. Pio mainly still has a userbase because they were the first to create a solver of this type, making them better known to the general public.
Our solving speeds are similar to pio, our memory use is lower, and the solutions are the same (assignment of which hands to bluff with may vary a bit).
Furthermore, GTO+ converges to 0%, while pio will typically stop converging at about 0.05%.
Other than that, we offer small savefiles, requiring only a few hundred kb per save (non-stored data can quickly be recalculated on the fly).
Our small savefile approach allows us to let you create databases of hundreds of trees, which is something I believe pio can not offer.
We offer internal analysis tools analysing the solutions, as well as graphs, tables, etc; to the best of my knowledge pio only offers the most basic of analysis methods, while otherwise needing its output to be manually copied to external software.
We offer an editor with a graphical interface for editing trees, whereas pio only seems to offer some sort of text based editor.
And we offer a feature to toggle card removal ON/OFF throughout the solution.
And yes, we do indeed have multiple bet sizes (see video 3 on the tree builder here:
www.gtoplus.com/videos).
The only thing that we don't offer is a preflop solver. It's possible for us to create this, but the problem is that this feature requires a custom built computer, which almost none of our target audience will have. A second reason is that a heads-up preflop solver solves exactly the part of poker where you would least need a GTO solution, namely preflop heads-up, where the sample size for historic data is huge. With some searching you may find some minor differences between pio and GTO+. We could easily add whichever features those may be; however, the decision not to clutter our interface with all sorts of buttons is more of an interface design choice, where we need to balance how many features are offered in the available space versus ease-of-use.
