In their own words
Clickteam Fusion 2.5
Clickteam Fusion 2.5 is a visual development tool for creating 2D games and applications. Its Event Editor represents behavior as conditions and actions in a grid, while the Frame Editor is used to position objects. A graphics editor, library graphics, and support for importing common file formats provide ways to work with visuals. The product integrates the Box2D physics engine into movement properties for most objects. Listed export targets include Windows, HTML5, Flash, iOS, Android/OUYA, and XNA, with some requiring optional modules. The free edition supports creating and publishing HTML5 games and apps without royalties, although its HTML5 export is limited. Its free-edition page lists Windows 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, or XP Service Pack 3 and says an internet connection is required for installation, updates, and downloads. The Free Edition costs nothing. Fusion 2.5 (PC) costs $99.99, paid once, and the Developer edition for PC costs $399.99, paid once. Commercial games and apps made with the standard PC edition must include a “Created with Fusion” logo.
CopperCube
CopperCube is a 3D authoring tool for making games and apps, including projects created without programming. Its maker cites first-person shooters, adventures, walkthroughs, simulators, and e-learning apps as possible uses. A click-based event and action system supports no-code interactions, while JavaScript can be used for scripting across publishing targets. Visual tools include terrain editing, real-time shadows, static lighting, moving vegetation, water rendering, particle effects, and a built-in lightmapper. CopperCube imports 3D formats including FBX, 3DS, OBJ, and X. Projects can be published as Windows apps, WebGL websites, macOS apps, and Android apps, although Android publishing is marked deprecated. The current editor is Windows-only starting with version 6.4; a macOS editor download is available for version 6.3. The free edition permits unlimited scenes and apps without royalties or a revenue limit. Professional costs €37, paid once, and Studio costs €126, paid once. The maker says projects made with any edition can be published and sold without royalties.
