Before you choose
Match the workload
Begin with the task you want to evaluate. Compare workload areas and the tool's comparison database before choosing a benchmark.
Because these tools address varied computer tasks, a profile designed for one workflow may not reflect another.
Check platform support
Make sure the benchmark works on your system. The list covers Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS and web platforms.
Platform support can determine whether a benchmark fits a desktop, laptop, phone or tablet.
Review the access model
A free plan, a free trial or open-source code may be available, depending on the tool. Review licensing and access conditions before using one.
Paid-from pricing is listed where provided. Pricing notes show PCMark 10 from $1,795 per year and SPECapc for Maya 2024 from $2,500.
Plan result handling
If you plan to save or share scores, review the available result export formats. Custom profiles can align a benchmark with a particular workload.
When runs require repeatable commands or scripts, CLI or automation support can be important.
