MoCoNC® is a conversational programming tool to add features, versatility, and improve ease of use of Vertical Machining Centers. For quick and hassle free creation of tool paths that are faster and more intuitive than the options we could find to use on the shop floor. For example, thread milling that only requires a few simple inputs. It includes automated tool selection and calculates depth of cut, feeds, and speeds. The user can also adjust all of this manually. All with simple conversational input. No CAD model needed. Programs can be accessed by your machine via network to your iCloud folder or with a USB drive compatible with the iPhone. Features: 1) Augmented Reality G-Code Paths. You can align the coordinate axis to the actual material or part and verify the paths. 2) On screen simulation of G-Code Paths. 3) Tooling and Material data is backed up to your cloud account if you choose. Available offline as well. No internet required for those that do not have reliable access. (Still should let the program have access when convenient to passively backup data) 3) Easy tool and parameter selection. The app fills in as much data as it can. Leaving you free to concentrate on more important areas. For example, thread milling. Using an extra long thread cutter? Is the tool diameter is too large for the hole? Not sure what the actual thread diameters should be? NPT? BSPP? Single Point? OD? ID? How many passes? The app is intended to solve these problems for you. Leaving you to verify the results or override them to suit your needs. 4) Feed Speed Calculator for Drills and Milling Cutters: Independent from the conversational programming, MoCoNC also includes feed and speed calculators. If you need to calculate or double check feeds, speeds, radial and axial depth of cut, and chip thinning compensation. These calculations are also automatically performed on part programs. 7) Probe GUI: For DMG Mori and Renishaw probe macros. Quickly add probing function to your part programs. 8) More features in the works or being tested. This app does not replace an understanding of G-code or machining fundamentals and will not turn an amateur into a machinist. You will still need to ensure the output is correct. MoCoNC requires a subscription but has a free trial period for new users. Payment is charged to Your AppStore Account Subscription automatically renews unless turned off 24-hours prior to end of current period Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to end of the current period Subscriptions may be managed in the user's Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Parametric Cut DXF at free with in-app purchases against MoCoNC's subscription. Parametric Cut DXF also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.2). MoCoNC's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
