The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GeoStudio the GeoStudio product page publishes no price and offers only a contact sales route or a link out to the Virtuosity reseller; MineRP minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
  • They diverge on capability: GeoStudio covers Slope stability analysis, MineRP covers Resource planning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

  • Three dimensional analysis requires a different product plan from the 2D one

MineRP

  • minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
