Read the comparisonHow every comparison is written
Their facts, from their pages
Every row about another product is read from that vendor’s own public website and documentation, and each page lists those sources. Nothing comes from inside a trial, from reviews or from memory.
Our facts, from our code
Every StructSuite row is read from the StructSuite code on the date shown, including what it does not do yet.
Straight about the other side
Each page says plainly where the other product is the better fit, and “Not stated” never pretends a feature is missing.
Dated and correctable
Each page carries the date its rows were last checked. If something is wrong, tell us and we correct it.
Looking for the wider field? The structural engineering software directory lines up the main design tools on what they design, the loads they build and what they cost. Found an error? Tell us.
