What's the difference between the Pro and Basic versions of TopoFusion?
-
The biggest difference is that the Pro version has an array of features that
the Basic version does not. See the list below for the major Pro exclusive
ones.
-
Most of our development effort goes into the Pro version (and new versions are
always free to our users) . Only smaller updates and bug fixes are being made to the
basic version.
-
TopoFusion Basic will run on almost any system. It has very low system requirements and
is ideal for (older or slower) laptop use. It runs on Windows 95 and later, while the Pro
version requires Windows 2000, XP or Vista.
-
Pro is $69.95 to remove the demo tiles, and Basic is $40.00.
-
The Basic version is also ideal for emulation on Mac OS and Linux. The advanced graphics
capabilities of the Pro version currently aren't emulated as well, though we are working on this.
