very usefull when you want to keep an eye on your rig while away from it, you can even restart it, overclock, undervolt, check temps, and musch more while using the free edition. Honestly, i couldn't ask of anything more (except for a few things, but they are covered by the paid version)

have been using minerstat for about 9 months as a newbie to mining and must say it has been very easy with no real issues. Have tried mining various cryptos and once you know the way around its all quite easy.

The overall usability of Minerstat is just super simple and effective. I love the benchmark tool although there is improvements that can be easily done to make it even better. The Windows app and the bootable Linux app works like a charm too.
