The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Seequent Central cloud hosted on Microsoft Azure and requires an internet connection, with no offline or self-hosted option; Geoscience ANALYST the free edition is a 3D viewer only; creating, editing, processing and interpreting objects requires a paid Pro licence
  • They diverge on capability: Seequent Central covers Version control, Geoscience ANALYST covers 3D visualization.

Where each one falls short

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

Seequent Central

  • Cloud hosted on Microsoft Azure and requires an internet connection, with no offline or self-hosted option
  • Hosting instances start at a minimum 500GB of storage, with more sold as an add-on
  • Billing splits into three separate lines: cloud hosting per organisation, user subscriptions per person and Leapfrog Connector licences per modeller
  • Publishing models from Leapfrog into Central requires a separate Leapfrog Connector licence
  • Value depends on already owning other Seequent tools such as Leapfrog, GeoStudio, PLAXIS or Oasis montaj

Geoscience ANALYST

  • The free edition is a 3D viewer only; creating, editing, processing and interpreting objects requires a paid Pro licence
  • Capability is divided across four separate paid tiers, Pro, Pro Geophysics, Pro Geology and Pro HPC, so geophysical inversion and AI geological interpretation are separate purchases
  • No price is published for any Pro tier; the vendor must be contacted for cost and licensing
