How we grade them
| 3.0GPALogi Options+Very good | 2.4GPAMac Mouse FixFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree to download and use with supported devices, per Logitech's FAQ. That is under 60% of the cheaper quarter, though you need the hardware. | A$2.99 once, plus local taxes, no subscription. Utilities here sit at $2.99 a month in the middle, so this is one month's money for keeps, and the licence syncs to your other Macs through iCloud. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright with no cap listed, though it only runs with supported Logitech devices. | CNo free plan for version 3. You get 30 free days with no card asked for, and a day only counts when you actually use the app. Macs on macOS 10.13 to 10.15 need Mac Mouse Fix 2, which the developer says stays free. |
| Features | CRemapping, per-app profiles, Smart Actions and Flow. It works only with Logitech devices, and haptic settings work only with the MX Master 4. | CGiving a third-party mouse trackpad manners is its one job, and it covers it: side-button drags for Mission Control, desktops and App Exposé, drag-to-scroll with inertia, three smoothness settings, any button on any shortcut. On some mice built for Logitech Options it can't see every button. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record. It is an installer for devices you own, and Smart Actions take some setting up. | BNo store rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: install it, pick what each button does and how smooth the scrolling should be. The mouse's scroll direction is set separately from the trackpad's. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWindows 10 or later and macOS 14 or later. No Linux build, no phone app, and a short list of app integrations. | DMac only. The latest version is made for macOS 11 Big Sur or later. No integrations are listed, and there's nothing for Windows or Linux. |
| Best for | remapping buttons on Logitech mice and keyboards | trackpad gestures on an ordinary mouse |

- Holding a button while turning the wheel shows the desktop, opens Launchpad or zooms in and out in apps such as Safari and Preview.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
