The gap explained: CCleaner & Cortex do disk clean + startup toggle + RAM booster (kills processes). Veyra does all that plus standby purge (Option 4), 491 tweaks (Option 2), ultimate power plan with no core parking (Option 5), SFC/DISM repair and network flush — layers the others simply don't ship.
Price
- Veyra: 100% free, portable, no ads
- Cortex: Free but shows Razer ads, needs account
- CCleaner: Free but nags for Pro, excludes deep tweaks
