Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Geoscience ANALYST
- The free edition is a 3D viewer only; creating, editing, processing and interpreting objects requires a paid Pro licence
- Capability is divided across four separate paid tiers, Pro, Pro Geophysics, Pro Geology and Pro HPC, so geophysical inversion and AI geological interpretation are separate purchases
- No price is published for any Pro tier; the vendor must be contacted for cost and licensing
