WFInfo, AlecaFrame or Orikon: which Warframe overlay to choose
All three show relic reward prices right over the game, but they are built differently and suit different people. This comparison is written by the author of one of them, so it sticks to checkable facts and honest downsides for each.
Each one in brief
WFInfo is built around the reward screen: it shows part prices there, with a relic and equipment list and a screenshot-based inventory scan on the side. Free, open source and lightweight, and that focus is its strength.
AlecaFrame is the full suite: reward overlay, inventory, foundry, mastery helper, relic planning, riven mods and warframe.market integration. It runs on Overwolf and is closed source. It is free, with advanced trading analytics for Patreon supporters.
Orikon is a full suite too, without Overwolf: prices on the reward screen, a trade window check at the trading post, inventory and relic scans, mastery with profile import, farming routes, the Ducanator, syndicates, a flipper and warframe.market order management. Free, with an English and Russian interface.

Who each one suits
- WFInfo if relic reward prices are what you want most, you care about open source, and you do not want to install anything heavy.
- AlecaFrame if Overwolf does not bother you and you want the widest feature set, including riven tools inside the app.
- Orikon if you want a full suite without Overwolf, a trade window check at the trading post, or your provider blocks warframe.market.
You can run two overlays at once, but the reward screen will show two labels on the same items. Picking one is simpler.
Bans and Digital Extremes' rules
Digital Extremes treats all third-party software the same way: use it at your own risk, and there is no list of approved programs. Bans in the rules are tied to modifying game files, cheating, exploits and automated farming.
Orikon reads the picture on the screen the way video recording or the Discord overlay does, does not touch game memory, injects nothing, and never presses keys for the player. It does not fall under the things people get banned for, but none of the three can guarantee Digital Extremes will not change the rules.
What Orikon looks like in game
On the reward selection screen every item gets its price and ducat value, and the best choice is marked.
At the trading post the app reads the trade window before you confirm and warns when a price is far below market.
Orikon is available on the home page. It installs without administrator rights and updates itself.
