There are several forks of Tomato, the most famous are:

- AdvancedTomato based on Tomato by Shibby, but uses a new interface.
- Tomato by Toastman Barebone version, if you think that your router should only route packets, and do that the best it can.
- Tomato RAF It's the version that support more routers than everyone else. If your router is not supported by any other version, check this one.
