PLITCH vs TrainerBridge

PLITCH is a PC game trainer for customizing single-player games with mods and cheat codes. Players can activate codes with a button click to make games easier, harder, or otherwise different.

It reports support for more than 5,800 PC games, with 10–20 new and classic games added each week, and an average of 250+ game patches covered weekly. The free plan is free and includes standard support and full access to 712 trainers. Premium features include unlimited playtime, prioritized support, a companion app, a Game Bar Overlay, game requests, and selected extras. Listed Premium prices are PLN 16.66 a year, billed zł 199.92 every 365 days; PLN 30.99 a month for 90 days; and PLN 36.99 a month for 30 days.

TrainerBridge is a free, open-source Linux application for running standalone Windows trainers with Steam games through Proton. It examines Steam libraries, identifies each game’s Proton version and compatdata prefix, then starts a trainer inside the matching Proton environment. You can import and manage one trainer executable for each Steam game and launch the game and trainer together or independently. Steam installations delivered as native packages, Snap, or Flatpak are supported. An optional Protontricks frontend can place common runtimes, fonts, settings, and applications into a game prefix. Before prefix changes, TrainerBridge can create backups using copy-on-write folders on compatible Btrfs filesystems or compressed .tar.zst archives elsewhere. Downloads include an x86_64 AppImage and portable .tar.xz archive with SHA-256 checksums. It does not supply trainers, alter game files, or bypass anti-cheat systems. Prefix component compatibility varies by game, prefix state, Proton version, and Winetricks recipe.
