Augment vs PlugXR Creator

Augment creates real-time 3D product views at real-world scale for e-commerce and in-person selling. Its AR Viewer supports ARKit and ARCore, works as a standalone app or inside a customer app, and synchronizes offline for use without connectivity. The web 3D Viewer embeds in webpages, supports modern browsers, and also works in mobile apps. A JavaScript Web SDK adds web-based 3D and AR visualization while checking integration keys against authorized domains. The 3D Vault organizes uploaded models with private or public settings; stored models cannot be downloaded. Supported files include OBJ, Collada, KML, 3ds, PLY, and STL, with uploads up to one million polygons and textures of any size. Teams manages users, teams, model and place access, and usage analytics. Small Business costs $42 a month, billed PUPM, with a four-user minimum; a 14-day trial is available.

PlugXR Creator is a tool for designing and deploying AR, VR, MR, and WebXR experiences. Its browser-based visual editor uses drag-and-drop controls to arrange assets and change content, lighting, and environments without code.

Experiences can target web, desktop, Android, iOS, and headsets; Unity and ARKit are among the named SDK integrations. Image and world tracking are supported. Teams can manage members and share design work with clients, and users can host experiences on their own servers. The web app does not require software installation. PlugXR Creator has no free plan and offers a 14-day trial, with no charge until it ends. The Individual trial lists one seat, five non-commercial native AR/VR apps, ten Web AR/VR experiences, 1,200 yearly views, and 100 MB storage.
