Comparison
PW Overlay vs PW Helper
Both are Perfect World multi-client tools. PW Helper is better known and does more things; PW Overlay is free today, with no ads, and focuses on running your party from an in-game overlay. Here is what each one does, no fluff.

When PW Helper is the better pick
If you use the interactive map, want auto forge or manage 20 accounts or more, PW Helper has tools PW Overlay does not: account tags and backup, formations that relog whoever dropped and a large Discord for questions.
When PW Overlay is the better pick
If you want to run your party without paying and without ads, PW Overlay does for free today what is PRO in PW Helper: follow the leader and set up the party on its own. The overlay sits on top of the game, the app comes in 10 languages, the installer is five times smaller and record and replay copies to the party what you did on the leader.
Server rules apply to both
No tool can override what your server forbids. On The Classic PW, for example, rule 3.1.4 forbids software that follows the leader or replicates actions across accounts, whatever the app. Before turning on any automation, check your server rules.
You can try both
Both have a free version and open the same accounts, so you can try one at a time on the same PC. Just don’t let both send commands to the game at the same time.
