DynamicalSystems.jl vs myPhysicsLab
Both stand on physics simulation software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan LinuxMacWindows
DynamicalSystems.jl offers a broad collection of analysis methods, documentation, and visualization options as a free Julia package. Users should account for its compatibility caveat, particularly when relying on individual algorithms.
