Why people look past Cavalry
Nothing on the record flags a reason to move. Cavalry has a free tier. People still switch over fit and workflow, and those are not things a catalogue entry can measure, which is what the comparisons below are for.
What each alternative does differently
Ordered by the aggregated rating on each catalogue entry. Differences are drawn from price, pricing model, tier count and rating, the fields the category listing carries. For a feature-level difference, follow the head-to-head link on each card: those pages read both full records.

What you would be giving up
The record we hold does not list what Cavalry is typically used for, so there is no honest way to enumerate what a switch would cost you from this page alone.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Cavalry is broadly right and the question is cost, the Cavalry pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Motion Graphics category lists everything the directory holds, and best motion graphics tools ranks them.
Cavalry runs on not recorded. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
