The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 3YOURMIND no pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.; TradeGecko the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 2019 listed a Lite plan at $79 per month billed annually (or $99 billed monthly) including 2 users, 1 sales channel integration, and 300 sales orders per month, with additional users at $50 per user per month, additional sales channels at $50 per channel per month, and additional orders at $10 per package of 100; a lower tier included 150 sales orders per month with overage at $20 per package of 100 orders; TradeGecko was later acquired and its cloud service was shut down in 2020 with customers migrated to Intuit's QuickBooks Commerce

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

3YOURMIND

  • No pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.
  • The part identification module only produces useful output if ERP master data and consumption history are clean, and organisations with poor material master data spend the first phase on data quality rather than printing.
  • It is enterprise-scale software aimed at fleets and networks; a shop with a handful of machines gets more from a printer vendor own job management at no extra cost.
  • Machine integration depth varies by manufacturer, so a mixed fleet including smaller or newer OEMs often needs manual steps that undermine the automated scheduling case.
  • The company is a mid-sized independent in a sector that has consolidated heavily, and buyers making a multi-year distributed manufacturing commitment are exposed to that if ownership changes.

TradeGecko

  • The vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 2019 listed a Lite plan at $79 per month billed annually (or $99 billed monthly) including 2 users, 1 sales channel integration, and 300 sales orders per month, with additional users at $50 per user per month, additional sales channels at $50 per channel per month, and additional orders at $10 per package of 100; a lower tier included 150 sales orders per month with overage at $20 per package of 100 orders; TradeGecko was later acquired and its cloud service was shut down in 2020 with customers migrated to Intuit's QuickBooks Commerce

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

3YOURMIND: What does 3YOURMIND cost?

The vendor publishes nothing. Expect an annual subscription quoted per module, plus integration work. Third-party listings cite roughly 10,000 euro a year as an entry point, which should be treated as unverified.

3YOURMIND: Is it a slicer?

No. It sits above build preparation, handling part selection, orders, scheduling and traceability, and integrates with preparation tools such as Netfabb and Magics.

3YOURMIND: Who actually uses it?

Large asset operators and service bureaus. Public references include US Navy distributed manufacturing and energy sector digital inventory programmes.

3YOURMIND: Can it run on-premise?

Yes. On-premise deployment is offered, which matters for defence and critical infrastructure customers.
