Printer operators can: 1. No longer worry about machines unexpectedly stopping or being idle for many hours. They will be notified when a print job is complete or unexpectedly pauses. 2. Understand current jobs and schedule time for completion and post processing, by monitoring a job's details, status, printer camera view and tray preview. 3. View current material levels on the 3D printers, and plan refills / purchasing. 4. Remotely stop an active print job, if they are away from the machine (Enabled for new gen FDM Printers like F120, F170, F270, F370 and PolyJet machines). 5. Contact GrabCAD and Stratasys customer support, to report issues with the software or the printer. You will need to install the GrabCAD Print Server to enable the mobile app functionality.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: STFM/MMTS at 4.0 against GrabCAD Print's 2.9. STFM/MMTS also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). GrabCAD Print's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
