What you would be giving up
TrendMiner is most often brought in for finding every prior occurrence of a heat exchanger fouling signature to estimate cleaning frequency from history rather than from a rule of thumb, comparing golden batches against off-spec ones in a pharmaceutical process without exporting to a data science team, building a monitor that flags the early temperature signature that preceded the last three compressor trips, giving a process engineer a way to answer a question in an afternoon that previously required a historian export and a spreadsheet week. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
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 TrendMiner is broadly right and the question is cost, the TrendMiner pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Manufacturing category lists everything the directory holds, and best manufacturing tools ranks them.
TrendMiner runs on web, windows, linux. 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.
