BlippBuilder vs WorkLink Create

BlippBuilder is a web-based augmented reality creation tool with a drag-and-drop editor for making experiences with or without coding. It supports surface and marker tracking, along with gyro features, and projects can be previewed in the canvas or on a device using a temporary QR code. Upload formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MP3, GLB and glTF. Projects publish to the web and can be shared by QR code or URL; they remain live while the subscription is active. The free Starter plan supports creating, testing and exploring projects, but publishing requires a paid plan. BlippBuilder integrates Sketchfab for browsing and importing free 3D assets; paid Sketchfab models must be downloaded separately and uploaded to the builder. Created content can be experienced on iOS and Android smartphones, desktop, and headsets including Magic Leap 2 and Meta Quest. AR content requires an internet connection. Blippar says it has suspended new subscriptions while upgrading its technology platform architecture.

WorkLink Create is a browser-based, no-code platform for building augmented reality experiences from CAD and other 3D information. Authors can make step-by-step work instructions, training modules, and assessments with quizzes, using an AI-assisted visual editor. Supported formats include FBX, OBJ, and GLB, with additional CAD formats in cloud deployments. The platform publishes native CAD content for Windows, iOS, and Android; viewing also works on iOS and Android phones and tablets, HoloLens 2, and Apple Vision Pro. WorkLink CMS organizes and distributes content, while the WorkLink App is used to view experiences. Collaboration tools include shared 3D interactions, real-world annotations, shared-view instructions, and call recording. Integrations span PLM, MES, MRO, and ERP systems, plus GraphQL API, deep links, webhooks, and IoT. Dashboards, productivity insights, audit logs, and user and content administration support oversight. Cloud and on-premises deployment are available. The cloud authoring version recommends a current Chromium-based browser; Firefox is not officially supported. Pricing is on request.
