    Blender is a full 3D program to create things from scratch, whereas DAZ is mainly to adjust premade models.

    Too many steps to get the same results you can get in DAZ with just a few clicks. Blender has a steep learning curve and is not straight forward enough.

    Similar functionality for morphing, posing, and dressing human figures. Less ready-made content, but that's offset by the fact that it's free. Pairs well with Blender which is also free.
