Helicon Focus or Zerene Stacker, which is better?

[Robinson58]

I'm looking for a good focus stacking software. I was looking at doing this in Photoshop, however I found these 2 programs and that's all they do.

Can I assume these will do a better job than Photoshop?

I’ve used both and both are far better than Photoshop. My reason for staying with Focus is that it integrates so well with Remote.

To me Helicon Focus is very straightforward to use and does the job well so I haven't bothered trying Zerene.
