Artivive Bridge vs Kivicube

Artivive Bridge is an editor for adding digital layers to physical artwork and images, then publishing the result as an augmented reality experience. A creator uploads a trigger image, adds layers and publishes without coding or technical skills. Supported media include video, animation, GIFs, images, 3D objects, audio, particle effects and text. Layers can be moved, rotated and scaled with on-screen handles or numeric controls. Sequences can make an experience respond to user input or timing. Pro Plus subscribers can use Timeline to animate and sequence layers, including images, video, sound, text, 3D objects and groups. Viewers can scan artwork with Artivive’s free iOS or Android app without an account. WebAR, on Pro Plus, Business and Enterprise, opens an experience in a browser from a QR code or link; its player does not support Timeline, and iOS permits only one video layer with audio at a time. Basic is free forever, with unlimited artworks, 50 lifetime views and a 1 MB memory limit. Paid plans start at €11.66/mo (annual).

Kivicube is a web-based platform for creating and sharing interactive WebXR scenes. Its visual editor offers drag-and-drop controls, templates, and asset uploads for making scenes without coding. Tracking options include image, world, body, face, landmark, 3D object, and rotation. Finished scenes can be shared by link or QR code and viewed in a phone browser without an app. They can also be embedded in Shopify or other product pages; developers can use a WebAR plugin, API, or iframe. A dashboard tracks page views and user views. Kivicube identifies retail, marketing, education, tourism, and art as use cases. Basic is free and allows two scenes and 500 scene experiences, with ads and non-commercial use only. Personal costs 79.90 CNY a year; Advanced costs 5,300 CNY a year and includes commercial rights. Enterprise costs 10,600 CNY a year and includes unlimited scenes. App plugin documentation lists WebAR SDK support for iOS 11+ and Android 7+, while its WebView requirements are iOS 14.3+ and Android 5.0+ with system WebView support. The service uses encryption for personal information storage and transmission.
