The short version
- Both are free.
- Only Earthly lists policy as code; only Womp lists implicit surface modelling.
- Where Earthly falls short: pricing model not published; requires sales contact.
- Where Womp falls short: nothing is dimensionally accurate, so a form designed here has to be remodelled in CAD before it can be manufactured.
- Prices and features on this page were last checked on 31 August 2026.
Where they differ

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Earthly
- Pricing model not published; requires sales contact
- Earthly Lunar is a recent launch (2025) with limited track record
- Primarily GitHub-focused; limited integration with other platforms
- No public documentation on pricing or feature tiers
Womp
- Everything runs through the browser graphics stack, so an older laptop with integrated graphics hits frame rate and render limits fast and there is no local rendering fallback
- Implicit modelling gives no control over the exported mesh, so the output topology is unsuitable for rigging, animation or subdivision work downstream
- Nothing is dimensionally accurate, so a form designed here has to be remodelled in CAD before it can be manufactured
- Scenes live in the vendor account, so if the service changes or closes, the only copies you hold are whatever you exported in advance
- The material and lighting set is deliberately simplified, which caps art direction and makes the output visually recognisable as having come from Womp

Questions people ask
- Is Earthly or Womp better?
- Neither clearly leads. Earthly starts at Free and Womp at Free, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Earthly or Womp?
- Earthly starts at Free and Womp at Free.
- Does Earthly or Womp run on more platforms?
- Earthly runs on Web, API. Womp runs on Web.
- Can I use Earthly for free?
- Both have a free tier, so you can try either at no cost before committing.
- What is Earthly best used for?
- Earthly is most often used for enforcing engineering standards across ai and human developers, automating incident response procedures across all repositories, embedding compliance requirements into development workflows, standardizing build processes with earthfiles. Of those, enforcing engineering standards across ai and human developers and automating incident response procedures across all repositories are not what Womp is typically brought in for.
- What can Earthly do that Womp cannot?
- Earthly covers Policy as code, Multi-stage enforcement, AI agent governance, Repository-wide policies. Womp covers Implicit surface modelling, Browser rendering, Material library, Scene sharing.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Earthly: What is the difference between Earthfiles and Earthly Lunar?
Earthfiles is an open-source build tool that reached 12,000 GitHub stars and is used by companies like NVIDIA, Intel, and Databricks. Earthly Lunar is a separate governance platform launched in 2025 for enforcing standards across development workflows.
SourceWomp: Do I need to know 3D to use it?
No. That is the point of the modelling approach; there is no topology, edge flow or subdivision to understand.
Earthly: How does Earthly Lunar enforce standards?
Lunar converts engineering standards, compliance requirements, and processes documented in AGENTS.md files, wikis, and incident postmortems into enforceable guardrails that apply consistently across repositories and development stages.
SourceWomp: Can I use the meshes in Blender or a game engine?
You can export them, but the topology comes from tessellating an implicit surface, so it is not suitable for rigging, animation or subdivision without a retopology pass.
Earthly: What is the pricing for Earthly Lunar?
Pricing is not published on the website. Interested customers should contact Earthly's sales team for current pricing and feature tiers.
SourceWomp: Is it accurate enough for manufacturing?
No. It is a visual tool. Anything to be made needs remodelling in CAD.
