MockFold and Boxobox start from the same idea: fold your own dieline in 3D instead of squeezing it into a template. The differences are where it runs, how you pay, and what you export.
The short answer
Choose MockFold if you need 3D files for Blender or AR, pouches today, or work on Windows and in the browser.
Choose Boxobox if you work on a Mac, receive complete PDFs from printers, need tapered jar labels ready for print, and prefer paying once.

Questions
Is MockFold a subscription?
Yes. Its pricing page lists a free watermarked plan, Starter at $12/month and Pro at $20/month, with 20% off yearly. Boxobox is a one-time €49.
Which one exports video and 3D files?
MockFold Pro does (MP4/WebM fold animations, GLB, glTF, OBJ). Boxobox exports images and an MP4 video of the fold, plus print templates for jar labels. 3D files (glTF, OBJ) are planned.
Can I open a PDF dieline?
Boxobox opens the complete PDF your printer sends. MockFold’s site mentions SVG dielines; if your printer sends a PDF you would convert and clean it first.
