Open source and free for personal and commercial use
Opened the Chromium repo in 1s in the vendor's own benchmark
Local-first desktop client for Linux, Windows and macOS
Drop-in difftool and mergetool, with 2-way and 3-way merges

Trade-offs

Professional edition is waitlist-only and its features are listed as planned
Benchmark is vendor-run on a single Linux machine, not independent
Benchmarked at v0.1.6, so the product is at an early release stage
The €20 Professional price is framed as a limited-time early-adopter offer
