Export Formats	4K PNG trim sheet atlases and PBR maps, ready for engine pipelines	PBR maps derived from photos or scans
Price	Token-based subscription; pay for what you use	Varies by tool; often separate photo-processing overhead
AI Capabilities	Prompt-to-trim-sheet generation, marker-based control, style presets, consistent PBR atlas output	Usually photo-based extraction, not marker-driven atlas generation
