    Really easy to use and with a simple design. There are a lot of different languages and it's easier to use than Cheat Engine. If you will download ArtMoney you have made the best choice.

    As of Jan-08-2026, tried getting it to function multiple times and it doesn't work in Windows 11. It'll load and make like it'll function but when you try to search any values it closes without an error message everytime. Not only that, but they make you use an old version that hasn't been updated since 2022. The Discord server has basically zero meaningful action and barely any news....and don't think about asking for assistance. Saw one guy ask for help and he was basically crapped on (lol...ah well). Do with this information what you will.

    Only open source alternative to CheatEngine on Windows that I can see. The software's in beta so the UI is pretty buggy (though stable), but the memory scanner works wonders, also bonus: no installation required, and unlike CheatEngine doesn't seem to come bundled with any malware.

    No memory scanning/changing/freezing etc, just downloading trainers from an online service with obnoxious paywalls.

    This program only has build in trainers, it's great, but does not give you the ability to scan or change memory values yourself.

    It's certainly the best alternative similar to Cheat Engine, but for Android. The good thing now is that it supports non-root methods, which comes in handy if you don't want to hack your mobile device in many ways.
