By compensation do you mean cost ?
Unfortunately I believe they are about the same , I think I payed $120
for Mach 3 and I don't know what CNCpro is selling for now (I bought
mine about 6 years ago my serial # is below 70) .
Mach has many more bells and whistles and is much more modern but
requires a 1 gig or faster computer with Win XP .
CNCpro will run on almost any computer you find at a garage sale or by
the street .
I use mach on the big mill and 2 lathes and CNCpro on one lathe one
surface grinder and several home made things like a wire cutter and a
very small metal shear I constructed , because it is good for very basic
machine control using some OLD IBM laptops I picked up for almost nothing .
