The short version
- Each has a real cost: 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.; Imago now a Seequent product rather than an independent one, so it sits inside that ecosystem and its own domain no longer resolves
- They diverge on capability: MineRP covers Resource planning, Imago covers Geological database.

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.
Imago
- Now a Seequent product rather than an independent one, so it sits inside that ecosystem and its own domain no longer resolves
- Capturing images at quality expects the Capture X software driving a camera rig, so it is not purely a software purchase
