GameOverlay vs WeMod

GameOverlay is a free Windows utility that places performance statistics over games. It can display FPS, 1% and 0.1% low FPS, ping, packet loss, and CPU and GPU usage and temperatures. FPS capture uses bundled Intel PresentMon, and low-FPS figures are calculated from frame times. In Auto mode, network monitoring identifies a game server from traffic and pings the address exchanging the most packets with the game. Each metric has its own visibility control and color picker; users can also adjust position, font, size, opacity, and background box. The overlay stays on top, allows clicks to pass through, and saves changes to a configuration file. Downloads include a standalone executable and a folder ZIP, and the project documents running from source with Python 3.10 or later on Windows. Administrator access is required for CPU temperature readings, FPS capture, and ping detection; declining it can leave those readings unavailable. The overlay cannot draw over exclusive-fullscreen games, so the maker recommends borderless or windowed fullscreen mode. The project is MIT licensed, and the bundled sensor library is under MPL 2.0.

WeMod is an application for customizing single-player PC games with mods, maps, and trainers. It scans a Windows computer for installed games and matches them with available options, which can adjust resources, skills, speed, and difficulty or provide a training mode. An in-game overlay lets players change settings while playing; changes are temporary and toggleable, and selections can be saved for later. WeMod lists support for Steam, Xbox, Ubisoft, Origin, GOG, Epic Games, and Rockstar Games. Its interactive maps cover more than 60 games and include fast travel, detailed mapping, and player-created markers. The homepage says the service supports more than 3,000 games and offers thousands of free items. The free plan costs nothing and includes keyboard hotkeys, with two hours of daily mod use for newly created accounts. Pro costs $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year, with interactive controls and remote-app access. The download page identifies the app as Windows only.
