    Not only can you sculpt with Blender, you can model, texture, simulate and animate with Blender, along with camera tracking and thousands more features. Definitely one of the best out there.

    Blender is a 3D modeling program, while Sculptris is a 3D sculpting program. The end result may be similar, but the actual process is entirely different.

    Wings 3D is a subdivision modeler inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware.

    It is possible to assign materials, vertex color, UV coordinates and textures, but there will be improvements in those features before Wings goes 1.0.

    There is no support in Wings for doing animations.

    This is a modelling program, sculptris is a sculpting program. While they both end at a 3d output, the method to get there is completely different.

    This program is mostly aimed at polygonal modelling. While they can both produce a 3d model, Sculptris is specifically aimed at 3d Sculpting and texture painting, something Wings 3d does not do.
