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.; MineSight mineSight (now part of Hexagon Mining) sells time-limited lease licenses rather than perpetual seats for exploration-stage users: License to Explore is scoped explicitly to "the life of a drilling campaign" and comes as two separate products, HxM Explorer and HxM Modeler, with additional functionality (UAV point-cloud surface meshing, a QAQC module) sold as further add-ons rather than included (archived press release, 6 March 2016)
  • They diverge on capability: MineRP covers Resource planning, MineSight covers Geological modeling.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
