Not permanently. Fork lets you evaluate it without a hard cut-off, but continued use expects a $49.99 one-time license per platform, so macOS and Windows are billed separately. Gitoryx has a genuinely free plan with no evaluation period and no account required.

Gitoryx takes 3 of 5 · Fork takes 1. Which of these matters is the part only you can score.
you want full in-app pull request management across every major host, a genuine free tier, 1-click undo, and advanced features like bisect, worktrees, and AI commit messages.
you only work with GitHub on a single platform and you're happy with Fork's polished native interface and pay-what-you-want evaluation model.

What each one costs before you have written a single commit.
Gitoryx
Fork
Gitoryx Pro is $69/year, or $199 once for a licence that does not renew. Prices are also billed in EUR and GBP. See the full pricing page.
Buying for more than yourself? Gitoryx Team sells Pro as a yearly capacity of seats you assign and revoke from an admin console, on one invoice. See Team pricing.
Fork's in-app pull request support is limited to GitHub. If you work with GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea, you'll be sent to the browser for all PR operations. Gitoryx supports full in-app PR creation and management across all four supported hosts, including their self-hosted variants. For teams that use multiple hosts or are on anything other than GitHub, this is a significant difference.
Fork doesn't offer a one-click undo button. If you accidentally reset a branch, discard changes, or delete a branch, you're on your own with the reflog, which requires Git knowledge and isn't always recoverable. Gitoryx lets you undo checkout, commit, discard, branch deletion, remote removal, and branch reset with a single click. This safety net is especially valuable for developers who are still building confidence with Git, but even experienced users benefit from being able to quickly reverse a mistake.
Fork focuses on the most common Git workflows and does them well, but it doesn't include several power-user features. There is no bisect UI for binary-searching bugs, no reflog viewer, no worktree management, no patch generation, and no changelog creation between tags. Gitoryx includes all of these, making it suitable for both everyday Git work and advanced debugging or release workflows.
Gitoryx supports AI-generated commit messages from multiple providers: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, GitHub Models, and any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Fork does not offer any AI features. If you use AI tooling in your workflow, Gitoryx integrates it directly into the commit flow without needing extensions or external tools.
Fork uses a pay-what-you-want evaluation model, but the listed price is $49.99 one-time per platform, meaning you pay separately for macOS and Windows. There is no permanent free tier. Gitoryx offers a genuinely free plan with no time pressure or evaluation nag, plus affordable Pro tiers for advanced features. You can use Gitoryx on real projects indefinitely before deciding whether to upgrade.
Fork maintains separate applications for macOS and Windows, which means features and updates can arrive at different times on each platform. The two versions share design philosophy but not code. Gitoryx is a single Tauri 2 codebase that delivers an identical experience on both platforms: same features, same behavior, same release schedule.
No tool wins everything, and a comparison page that says otherwise is marketing. These are the reasons to stay.
Both are native clients reading the same repositories. Switching is installing one and opening the folders you already have.
Gitoryx is not the only option. If it is not the right fit, these are the ones worth looking at.
