Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.
Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Adobe After Effects vs Blender: Which is best for you?

per month
Pricing available upon request
and Demo
Features
- The possibilities are endless and the amount of adds-on and plugins are very vast and enable you create stunning VFX and motion graphics.
- Complex projects can slow down my computer and render times can be long, especially without high-end hardware.
- Since Blender is open source, there are constant additions to it hence it has many different types of features which are very helpful, the community is also very active. Since it has such a huge community, assets are really easy to find as well as tutorials
- Not sure if it was the software or limitations with my PC, but even with an 4GB dedicated Nvidia graphics card, it was a little slow at times once adding layering to the 3D models.
