The Ln_n+1M_nX_3n+1 (Ln = lanthanide, M = transition metal, and X = tetrel) homologous series provides a platform to study collective phenomena in quantum materials. Here, in this work, we compare the crystal growth, structure, and magnetic properties of the n = 3 members of the Pr_n+1M_nGe_3n+1 (M = Fe, Co) analogues, Pr₄Fe₃Ge₁₀ (a = 4.3207 (10) Å, b = 35.523 (8) Å, c = 4.2982 (15) Å, and V = 659.7 (3) Å³) and Pr₄Co₃Ge₁₀ (a = 4.3091 (12) Å, b = 35.750 (9) Å, c = 4.2807 (11) Å, and V = 659.4 (3) Å³). We determined that the ideal flux growth conditions for each compound are highly dependent on the concentration of Sn flux and quench temperature. Pr₄Fe₃Ge₁₀ orders ferromagnetically at 10 K along the c-direction while Pr₄Co₃Ge₁₀ orders antiferromagnetically at 16 K along the b-direction. For both compounds, we observed a magnetic moment higher than that expected for only Pr³⁺ ions (3.58 µ_B/Pr), implying that the transition metal ions contribute to magnetic ordering (3.91, 3.48, and 3.69 µ_B/Pr for Pr₄Fe₃Ge₁₀, and 3.76, 4.04, and 3.83 µ_B/Pr for Pr₄Co₃Ge₁₀ measured along the a-, b-, and c-directions, respectively). Moreover, the zero-field Mössbauer spectrum obtained at 4.2 K for Pr₄Fe₃Ge₁₀ demonstrates that the iron sites participate in magnetic ordering.
