FPSDoctor VS Crosshair X
Which one should you pick?
Your own crosshair, with the right tools around it.
The short answer
FPSDoctor suits you if you want to adjust your crosshair and keep your other gaming tools in one app. Its crosshair is free and customizable, using an overlay outside the game process.
Crosshair X has the edge for advanced designs and its exclusive fullscreen extension. If you play borderless and want a parametric crosshair, start with the one already included in FPSDoctor.

A closer look at each feature
Beyond the crosshair
FPSDoctor combines a crosshair with color settings, an FPS counter and PC settings. You can prepare your game in one suite. Crosshair X focuses on creating and displaying crosshairs.
Core customization
Both let you build a visible reference that suits your preferences. FPSDoctor also offers gap, rotation and opacity controls. A custom crosshair provides a reference without changing the game's shooting mechanics.
Advanced creation
Crosshair X offers more options for complex designs: animated crosshair layers, image imports and a community library. FPSDoctor focuses on parametric shapes you adjust directly in its editor.
Exclusive fullscreen
FPSDoctor's crosshair displays over windowed or borderless games. Crosshair X offers a Game Bar extension for exclusive fullscreen. Its documentation specifies DirectX support for that extension and recommends borderless mode for Vulkan.
Crosshair access
You can customize and use FPSDoctor's crosshair without a paid subscription. Crosshair X is sold as a separate product. Its price varies by storefront, region and promotion.
Where Crosshair X goes further
Its design tools offer animated crosshair layers and image imports. Its community library and Game Bar extension address more specialized needs.
