There is a Psykinematix Edition for everyone:

Student Edition is the basic version of Psykinematix for students in optometry schools, learning visual psychophysics, or studying experimental psychology or cognitive science,

Standard Edition is the full-featured version for researchers on a budget or students pursuing research in vision sciences,

GPU Edition is a highly optimized version of Psykinematix Standard that fully takes advantage of your computer's graphics card to bring real-time and full-screen generation of complex and time-varying stimuli,

Bits#/Display++/Neurokinematix Edition is a specialized version of Psykinematix GPU that brings support for Cambridge Research Systems' hardware including the Bits#, Display++ LCD monitor, IR response box, ColorCal 2 colorimeter and more,

Metropsis Research Edition is the new version of Cambridge Research Systems' visual function assessment suite for Clinical Research that uses Psykinematix Bits#/Display++ Edition as its Visual Psychophysics Engine.

The main differences between these Psykinematix Editions are summarized in the comparison chart below:
