The recent advances in GNSS positioning of the recent decades have been possible by the development of increasingly efficient software and online calculation tools. The differences between these online PPP calculation tools result in a different level of performance. Our study shows that for 24-hour or 6-hour observation time, the Canadian Spatial Reference System for PPP (CSRS-PPP), CenterPoint RTX Post-Processing (RTX), Magic/GNSS, Institut Geographique National-PPP (IGN-PPP) and RTKLIB tools have almost similar level of performance with International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) solutions considered as reference solution. Average deviations on the three components X, Y and Z for the different tools compared to ITRF solutions do not exceed 1 cm. However, the CSRS-PPP tool gives deviations of less than 5 mm. Calculations from the observations of 2 h and 1 h show that the RTX and CSRS-PPP tools keep deviations similar to those obtained with 24 h and 6 h, while RTKLIB and IGN-PPP give deviations exceeding 6 cm and sometimes failures of some calculations for IGN-PPP.
