Altair HyperWorks vs. Shopify Flow

Engineering firms and companies with needs for multiple disciplines of analysis capabilities on a regular basis will benefit from HyperWorks. Companies with short term engineering needs (less than 6 months) or who only need a particular analysis/simulation discipline may be better off using a consultant (who likely uses HyperWorks).

Because HyperWorks, HyperMesh is best

In my experience, Shopify Flow is very easy to use. It is free if you have a Shopify Plus license. At this time of writing, Shopify Flow can already integrate with some 3rd party apps and more is coming. I think there is high growth potential for Shopify Flow.
