--- title: Tower canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/tower/ category: Git Clients points: 71 rank: 3 of 11 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # Tower Closed-source Git client for Windows and macOS; Basic costs $69 a user per year. 71 points out of 100. #3 of 11 Git clients. Vendor: SaaS.group GmbH. Website: https://www.git-tower.com/ - Basic costs $69 per user a year, billed annually, shown as $5.75 a month [1]. - Free use is a 30-day trial [14]; students, educators and non-profits can apply for free use [1]. - One Undo command reverses commits, branch actions, merges, rebases and stash actions [4]. - Connects to GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab and Azure DevOps, and handles pull requests in the app [5][12][16]. - Windows version 14.1 is dated 6 October 2026 [3]. Verdict: Tower suits developers who want undo, worktrees, Git-flow, signing and in-app pull requests on Windows or macOS [2][4][10][11][12]. Basic at $69 a year, billed annually, is the entry price [1]. The catch: there is no free plan for work, and its Conflict Wizard hands combined edits to an external merge tool [1][8]. Best for: Developers who want one undo command and pull requests inside a paid client. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Git features | Core Git features | Interactive rebase, Git LFS, Submodules, Stage single lines or hunks | 12/15 | Rebase, submodules [2][15]; LFS [7]; line staging [9].
