Solving speeds
Our solving speeds are similar to pio, and our memory use is lower.
Play against the solution
We offer a "Play against the solution" feature, which is not available in pio (here is a short video:
https://youtu.be/YuRsCQajRBA).
We converge to 0%
GTO+ converges to 0%, whereas pio will typically stop converging at about 0.05%.
Small savefiles and database functionality
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.
Internal analysis tools
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.
Visual editor as oposed to text based editor
We offer an editor with a graphical interface for editing trees, whereas pio only seems to offer some sort of text based editor.
Card removal ON/OFF
We offer a feature to toggle card removal ON/OFF throughout the solution.
Multiple bet sizes
We do indeed have multiple bet sizes (see video 3 on the tree builder here:
www.gtoplus.com/videos).
Other differences
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. 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.
Why is the price lower?
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, for example, our other software Flopzilla is also sold way below market value, with lifetime upgrades for only a single payment of $25. The reason for the pricing is simply that we don't want to charge regular consumers huge amounts of money for gaming-related software.
