Blender vs ProtoPie: What are the differences?

Developers describe Blender as "*Open Source 3D computer graphics software *". It is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. On the other hand, ProtoPie is detailed as "Interactive prototyping tool for all digital products". ProtoPie is the easiest tool used to turn your UI/UX design ideas into highly interactive prototypes for mobile, desktop, web, all the way to IoT ✔ macOS & Windows ✔ iOS & Android.

Blender and ProtoPie are primarily classified as "Graphic Design" and "Mobile Prototyping & Interaction Design" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Blender are:

Rendering
Sculpting
Modeling

On the other hand, ProtoPie provides the following key features:
