Basemark GPU vs PerfDog

Basemark GPU is a graphics benchmark for comparing performance on mobile and desktop devices. Its proprietary C++ Rocksolid engine runs the same workload across platforms, while the graphics API varies by device: Android supports OpenGL ES or Vulkan, iOS and macOS use Metal, and PC and Linux can use OpenGL, Vulkan, or DirectX 12 when supported. High Quality targets desktop graphics and Medium Quality targets mobile graphics; their official offscreen resolutions are 3840×2160 and 1920×1080 respectively. The game-like scene can generate tens of thousands of draw calls per frame. Results appear in the Powerboard for comparison. The free edition sends results there automatically and provides a single score without breakdown analysis; it requires internet access and is limited to home or private use. Basemark GPU is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. Its Corporate edition is for commercial use and adds full test details, custom configurations, automation, data export, and optional result submission. Pricing for that license is available by request.

PerfDog is a performance testing and analysis tool for applications and games, with real-time views of FPS, CPU, GPU, memory, frame time, and jank. Its listed platforms include Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, with support also listed for Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. PerfDog says tests need no root access or jailbreak, require no app changes, and add less than 1% overhead. It claims FPS precision of ±0.1, timestamps at 1 ms, and a 1000 Hz sample rate. AI-driven reports and bottleneck detection include one-click analysis of a single report. PerfDog CLI plus Service supports remote testing and CI/CD integration. Its cloud dashboard stores and manages test cases and supports team tasks and sharing. PerfDog MCP offers 15 tool interfaces, and its site shows workflow results being sent to WeCom and Lark. The free version is for non-profit organizations; research users can apply for a charity quota. Pricing for other use is available on request.
