Does POG Snap render as well as Boxshot?

On a single hero product, no. Boxshot is dedicated rendering software with far more control over materials and lighting. POG Snap renders a whole fixture to scale, which is a different problem and the one a buyer meeting is about.

Yes, and it is a sensible pairing: Boxshot for the hero image on the cover slide, POG Snap for the shelf the rest of the deck argues about.
