There's no mention of YourKit[1] or jProfiler[2].

I'd really like to see an up to date in-depth comparison of those two tools including their respective licensing costs.

I am using yourkit (java swing apps) and finding it very powerful and useful in finding memory leaks, tracking down tough bugs. Which do you prefer? What type of apps to you develop? Im curious about profiling android apps, havent looked into if this is possible with yourkit.

I've heard great things about YourKit but their web presence is amateurish.

The jProfiler site seems much more professional and informative. I can't help but wonder if that extends to the product and support as well.

The pricing, at least for single per-seat licensing, is almost identical.

I primarily develop server side applications and would really like to get a better insight into how that code is performing.

All of the reviews I have seen are pretty old and it seems both products have been heavily updated recently.

Why did you choose YourKit? Have you compared it with jProfiler?
