Verdict
Which one should you pick?

Worth knowing: Desktop app runs on Windows 10/11 PCs only; console support is limited to Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 (app runs on a PC on the same network); installer not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen warns on install
Choose SimHub when you want dashboards, hardware & tactile rigs — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Not a coach — dashboards/hardware only; full features and motion control gated behind separate paid licenses whose prices are not shown on the homepage
