Pick Onshape if…
It suits people and teams doing parametric 3D CAD who need browser access, collaboration, or built-in data management. The free plan is limited to non-commercial use and public documents.
Pick Plasticity if…
Plasticity suits desktop 3D users on Windows, macOS, or Linux who need 3D print export. Reviewers should consider the absence of sculpting, animation, parametric modeling, and rendering tools.
