What secs1d and spice do are not comparable.
secs1d is a package TCAD simulation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_CAD
while spice is for lumped element circuit simulation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit_simulation
spice compares rather to the ocs package than to secs1d.
A free software alternative to secs{1,2,3}d packages would be GNU Archimedes:
https://www.gnu.org/software/archimedes/
I never tried it, though, I just found out about its existence while looking up
TCAD on wikipedia for providing the link above,
but I do know the lead developer ...
