Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Homebase

Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan

Spline

AI generation features produce inconsistent and often distorted results, failing at basic depth perception tasks
Limited to simpler designs - not suitable for high-poly, detailed production models
Performance degrades with complex scenes containing many objects and materials
Limited non-Apple platform coverage compared to cross-platform design tools
Tutorials are either too fast for beginners or too basic for advanced users
