Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Creality printer owners	Bambu Lab printer owners

Support quality	No direct support evidence found	Ban and points-clawback complaints suggest weak recourse
Public sentiment	Prints that launch come out high quality, but users find the app difficult and the web experience frustrating.^¹	Downloaders value the free model selection; creators and critics flag points manipulation, moderation, and license fees.¹⁴
