Tower review

Tower is a desktop Git client for macOS and Windows that puts common version-control work in a visual interface. Instead of handling every operation through commands, you can use drag-and-drop controls for Git actions, stage changes, manage branches, and work through conflicts with a dedicated wizard.

The feature set also includes interactive rebase, stacked branches, automatic branch management, and pull-request creation from the app. Tower supports undoing actions with Cmd+Z. Those tools make it relevant to developers who want a graphical way to manage Git without giving up access to advanced workflows.

Our verdict: Tower looks capable, but its strongest fit is for people or teams willing to pay annually. The pricing page lists a 30-day free trial, but no free plan. Annual prices start at $69 per user for Basic; monthly billing prices are not published.

Tower covers more than the basic add, commit, and push cycle. The stated feature set includes drag-and-drop Git actions, staged changes, branch management, interactive rebase, and a conflict wizard. Cmd+Z undo is another practical convenience for correcting an action without treating every misstep as a manual recovery exercise.

Pull requests are part of the workflow too: Tower says users can create them directly from the app, and the Basic plan includes Pull Requests & Services Manager. That gives solo users access to a useful part of the product without needing a team plan.

The pricing page lists three annual options: Basic at $69 per user, Pro at $129, and Enterprise at $149. That works out to $5.75, $10.75, and $12.42 per user per month, respectively. Basic includes one user, macOS and Windows versions, and unlimited app updates. Pro adds basic team management, dedicated billing and admin roles, and a 10% discount at 10 or more seats. Enterprise adds advanced team management, invoicing and wire transfer, priority support, and SAML-based SSO. A 30-day trial gives prospective buyers time to assess the workflow before paying.

Tower has no free plan, according to the published pricing details, and the listed prices are for annual billing. The pricing page does not publish monthly rates, so teams that avoid annual commitments cannot compare a month-to-month option from the available figures. The 30-day trial is the only stated way to use it before paying.

The plan ladder also makes the cost of team features less simple than the entry price suggests. Basic is aimed at individuals and includes one user. Pro is listed at $10.75 per user per month on annual billing, while Enterprise is $12.42. The pricing details do not name the “exclusive Pro features,” so buyers may need to clarify what they get before upgrading. Pro’s 10% discount starts at 10 seats; it is not listed for smaller Pro purchases. The published plan details list macOS and Windows versions, but do not list a Linux version. For teams that need Linux support, or want published monthly pricing, the available information leaves a material gap.

Tower has no free plan. Its pricing page lists a 30-day trial and three annual-billing prices: Basic at $69 per user per year ($5.75/month equivalent), Pro at $129 ($10.75/month), and Enterprise at $149 ($12.42/month). Monthly billing prices are not published, so those monthly figures are annual costs divided across 12 months—not a monthly payment option we can confirm.

Basic is for individuals and includes one user, Mac and Windows versions, unlimited app updates, and Pull Requests & Services Manager. Pro adds exclusive features, basic team management, and billing and admin roles. That is a $5-per-user monthly-equivalent jump from Basic. Enterprise adds advanced team management, invoicing and wire transfer, priority support, and SAML-based SSO; the next jump is $1.67 per user per month equivalent.

Pro seats get 10% off at 10 or more seats. The listed prices are per user, and the source does not specify whether that discount applies to other tiers.

Tower is a desktop Git client for Mac and Windows, with visual controls for staging, branches, pull requests, and conflict resolution. The published details do not document migration steps, repository import or export options, or how Tower stores settings. Before switching, check that your repositories and any team workflows you rely on are accessible outside the app; confirm any needed settings or integrations separately rather than assuming they transfer.

Leaving may be more practical for teams that need Linux support, a free plan, or monthly prices published upfront—those are explicit gaps in the published product and pricing details. But we don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material, so we can’t responsibly say what users report as their reasons for leaving. Treat Reddit anecdotes as unverified until you check the thread and whether its complaint applies to your setup. Tower’s annual billing also means buyers should confirm renewal terms before committing.
