Delightex Edu (formerly CoSpaces Edu) vs Frame

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.

Frame is a browser-based platform for building private or public virtual spaces for businesses, schools, organizations, and communities. Its collaborative tools include spatial voice chat, translated text chat, whiteboards, webcam and screen sharing, shared browsers, and live co-editing. A drag-and-drop editor accepts 3D models, 360 photos and videos, images, video, PDFs, streaming screens, shaders, particle systems, buttons, and proximity triggers. AI options include image and skybox generation, GPT-powered chat, AI NPCs, translation in 30 languages, and speech-to-text captions. A Frame can hold up to 300 people; larger spaces up to 1,000 may be possible with suitable settings and support contact. It runs in desktop, mobile, and VR browsers without downloads. The mobile guide recommends Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android, but notes that mobile lacks screen sharing and laser pointers. The listed tiers are $10, $50, and $200 per month, alongside a free trial; educators can get a 50% discount.
