## Which should you pick?

- **Choose ShareClick** if you want it **free forever** (including at work), open
  source, encrypted by default, and as low-latency as possible.
- **Choose ShareMouse** if you want its very polished drag-and-drop and don't mind
  a paid license for more than two computers or commercial use.

ShareMouse is a slick, well-established tool with excellent file drag-and-drop.
ShareClick matches the core feature set — input, clipboard (text + images),
files — while staying free, open source, and license-free for any number of
machines.
