    Cavalry: when it makes sense.

    Cavalry shines for procedural, data-driven motion design; for traditional animation or heavy plugin needs, an established tool fits better.

    Keep if

    You do procedural 2D motion design.. You want a modern alternative to legacy tools.

    Cavalry becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€20) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You mostly do classic frame-by-frame animation.. You need a very large plugin ecosystem.

    Cavalry becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
