How to choose

Which XR modes does it support?

Choose software that supports the XR mode your project needs. Compare the listed XR modes before considering other features.

If you are choosing between tools such as A-Frame, Arkio, or Gravity Sketch, check their individual mode details rather than assuming they work the same way.

What XR content can I create?

Check the XR creation tools to see whether they fit the content you want to make.

Creation tools are one comparison point; also consider how the software handles deployment and XR content management.

Which devices and platforms does it support?

Match supported devices and platforms to the devices your team plans to use.

The board covers web, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux availability. Confirm the specific platform support for a tool before choosing it.

How should I compare collaboration and deployment?

Compare collaboration features and deployment options with the way your team plans to work and deliver XR content.

Also check XR content management, since it is a separate comparison point from creating content or deploying it.

Does it have a free plan, and what does paid use cost?

Check whether the tool has a free plan, whether a free trial is offered, and the listed starting price for paid use.

For example, ArborXR lists a 30-day trial and pricing from $4 per month with annual billing. Arkio lists a free plan, a 14-day trial, and paid plans from $35 per user per month with annual billing.
