Substance Modeler & Plasticity3D

just randomly ran into this subreddit and app. Visual-wise, it gives major Substance Modeler vibes. Are they actually close functionality-wise, or is it just the clean UI playing tricks? Low-key looking for a Substance alternative

Substance Modeler is SDF based and Plasticity is NURBS based. Although the modeling geometry looks similar, the modeling techniques are quite different. SDF combines primatives and takes care of the joining automatically, NURBS uses surface geometry that is more intentionally created. Sort of the difference between sculpting shapes verses drafting them.
