glmark2 vs PerfDog

glmark2 is a free graphics benchmark for OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL ES 2.0. Its default suite runs scenes covering workloads such as building, textures, shading, bump, buffers, terrain, and shadows, then prints a glmark2 score. Users can specify custom benchmarks through command-line options or benchmark files. Results can be exported to XML or CSV, and available result details include CPU time and shader compilation time. The project documents Linux builds for DRM, Wayland, and X11, including desktop GL and GLESv2 variants, and provides instructions for building and installing an Android APK. Windows support is recorded through WGL and ANGLE-EGL. Building uses Meson and Ninja and requires Meson 0.47 or newer, libpng 1.6, window-system development files, and applicable GL or GLES libraries. On Android, arguments can come through an intent extra or an arguments file, with intent arguments taking precedence when supplied. The Android version ignores several X11 options, including validation, off-screen, fullscreen, and scene-list options. The project is licensed under GPLv3 and is provided without warranty.

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.
