How does TriBatch Compare to Other Batch Calculators/Optimizers?

TriBatch offers a unique set of advanced glass batch calculation features, for a very reasonable price, especially for the Lite license, which costs only CAD 290.

If your batch calculation needs are very basic, you may be able to use the Free glass batch calculator instead.

If your batch calculation needs are too advanced even for TriBatch Pro, you may want to try Ilis BatchMaker®. However, it likely costs much more than TriBatch, judging from the facts that it requires a hardware lock and that the price of the license is not even mentioned on their Website.
