The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GEOVIA GEMS the GEOVIA portfolio page on 3ds.com lists Surpac, MineSched, Whittle and Services but does not name GEMS or any of its editions, and no page found for GEMS itself publishes a figure or a named tier; 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: GEOVIA GEMS covers Geological modeling, MineRP covers Resource planning.
