Arkio vs Prisms

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.

Prisms is a spatial learning platform for grades 6–12 math and science. Students work through physical, first-person experiences and then connect those experiences to symbolic notation. The curriculum contains more than 100 content and skill-building modules. A classroom package includes VR headsets, charging and storage equipment, and mobile device management software; listed headset support includes Oculus Quest 1. Teachers can watch activity in real time through casting or an event timeline and provide feedback during lessons. Prisms AI gives short written responses to math and science answers and classifies mastery for teachers, who can override the classifications. Released modules can be translated into Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Russian. The company says student data is not used to train third-party AI models and that sensitive or personally identifiable data is not sent to its AI. AI processing uses Anthropic models through AWS Bedrock and is described as FERPA- and COPPA-compliant. Support includes on-demand technical help and professional development with dedicated coaching. Partnerships use fixed license quantities and one-year initial terms unless an order form says otherwise.
