The short version

Only Spline has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Lattice a $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor; Spline aI generation features produce inconsistent and often distorted results, failing at basic depth perception tasks
They diverge on capability: Lattice covers Performance reviews, Spline covers 3D modeling.

Where each one falls short

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

Lattice

A $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
Billing is annual only
The platform is sold as three separate base products at $10, $8 and $4 per seat per month, so a full deployment stacks rather than being one price
Compensation and Grow are further add ons at $6 and $4 per seat per month on top

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
