The short version

  • Only Tukatech has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CLO 3D the pricing page names four tiers, Student, Individual, Enterprise and Academic, and states that Enterprise and Academic are custom priced rather than listed; Tukatech sold as a wide set of separate products, TUKAcad, TUKA3D, SMARTmark, TUKAstudio and others, rather than one application
  • They diverge on capability: CLO 3D covers 3D garment visualization, Tukatech covers Pattern design.
