Arkio vs Delightex Edu (formerly CoSpaces Edu)

Arkio is a design collaboration tool for architects and other spatial designers. Its solid-modeling tools support boolean operations and parametric volumes, while meeting participants can view and edit the same scene together in real time. For design review, users can save views, add voice-transcribed notes, make AI renders, and collaborate on 2D frames. Plugins connect Arkio with Archicad, Navisworks, Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp for model and related-data import or export. The free Starter plan includes the modeling tools, one-on-one meetings, and OBJ, GLB, and image import and export. Pro allows up to six meeting participants and includes 500 AI credits per month; it costs $35/user/mo with annual billing or $45/user/mo with monthly billing. Enterprise supports up to 24 participants and includes 1,000 monthly AI credits per license. Each AI render uses one credit, and credits renew monthly. Arkio runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. A Pro license can be installed on two devices but used on only one at a time.

Delightex Edu, formerly CoSpaces Edu, lets students build 3D creations, animate them with code, add AI, and explore in virtual and augmented reality. It is designed for schools: teachers can create assignments, manage classes, and monitor student work in real time. The free Basic plan supports up to 29 students, two projects, one class, one assignment, ten external files, and basic CoBlocks. Pro adds a 3D objects library, AI features, all CoBlocks or scripting languages, and a built-in physics engine. Teachers can try Pro features and the MERGE Cube add-on free for 14 days with 25 seats. Pro licenses last one year, and online purchases are capped at 400 total seats per plan. The service runs on web, iOS, and Android; its browser app works on desktop and laptop computers, including Chromebooks, without installation. Students can sign in with Clever, Apple, Google, Microsoft, or NAVER, and teachers can share projects to Microsoft Teams. Delightex states that Edu complies with GDPR, COPPA, FERPA, and Ed Law 2D. It also describes encryption, yearly security audits, and moderation of user-generated content.
