A free Touch Portal alternative — unlimited from day one

Touch Portal's free tier is 8 buttons and 2 pages

Touch Portal offers a free tier, but it is capped: approximately 8 buttons and 2 pages. For anyone who wants multiple decks — a streaming page, a productivity page, a media control page — that cap forces an upgrade decision before you have fully evaluated the product. The Pro version is a reasonable one-time ~$14 purchase, so it is not a subscription trap, but the free experience is not representative of the full tool.

Klikor's free tier has no button limit, no page limit, and no profile limit. You can build ten separate profiles with ten pages each before spending a cent. Macros up to 500 steps, PowerShell/CMD/Bash scripts, app launch, keyboard shortcuts, and generic webhooks are all free. Pro only comes into play when you want platform integrations like OBS, Twitch, Spotify, or Discord.

Desktop platform support — Touch Portal wins this row

Touch Portal runs its desktop companion on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Klikor currently ships a Windows desktop app only; macOS support is in development. If you run Linux or macOS and need the desktop software today, Touch Portal is the stronger choice.

That said, the Klikor mobile apps — iOS and Android — work as full clients against a Windows PC on the same LAN. So if your PC is Windows and your phone is either platform, Klikor covers you completely.

Plugin maturity vs. first-party integrations

Touch Portal's third-party plugin ecosystem is large and mature. Community developers have built plugins for dozens of tools. The trade-off is that plugin quality varies, updates depend on third-party maintainers, and setup involves installing separate plugin packages alongside the base app.

Klikor takes a first-party approach: OBS, Twitch, Kick, Trovo, Spotify, Discord, VoiceMeeter, and Govee are all built directly into the app and maintained alongside it. No separate downloads, no version mismatches, no abandoned plugins. The integration surface is narrower but more polished and consistently updated.

Klikor's OBS and VoiceMeeter integrations are bidirectional — your buttons reflect the live state of the app, not a blind guess. You always know whether you're really muted or really live. Keystroke-only decks just fire a key and hope; the moment anything changes outside the deck their buttons drift out of sync — that's how you end up talking on mute while chat is yelling at you. Klikor stays locked to the truth — plus a growing set of first-party integrations, with more added on request.

Conditional logic — Touch Portal wins this row

Touch Portal's flow builder supports advanced conditional logic: if-this-then-that chains, state variables, and branching actions. This is a genuine strength for power users who want to build complex reactive decks. Klikor's macro system is powerful at up to 500 steps but does not currently offer Touch Portal's level of visual conditional logic. If branching flow control is central to your use case, Touch Portal has the advantage today.

Setup experience

Connecting Touch Portal requires manually entering your PC's IP address in the mobile app, or using its auto-discovery (which can fail on networks with client isolation enabled). Klikor uses a QR code displayed by the desktop app: open the phone app, tap Pair, scan the code. The TLS certificate fingerprint is exchanged in the same scan, so the connection is encrypted and verified in a single step. No IP addresses to type. No firewall rules to fiddle with beyond the standard LAN port.

Privacy

Both Klikor and Touch Portal route commands over LAN without a cloud relay. Neither requires an account for core functionality. The difference: Klikor uses TLS with certificate pinning (TOFU) so your phone verifies your PC's identity on every connection — a man-in-the-middle on your own LAN cannot intercept commands. Touch Portal uses an unencrypted socket for its local connection. For most home LANs this is an academic distinction, but it matters in shared-network environments like offices or universities.

Marketplace

Klikor has a built-in marketplace where creators publish and sell profiles and icon packs, keeping 90% of every sale. Touch Portal has a community profile sharing section but no native in-app marketplace with creator payouts. If you want to monetize the decks you build, Klikor is the only option in this category with a direct payout mechanism.
