Reality Composer vs STYLY

Reality Composer is an Apple app for prototyping and producing augmented reality experiences without prior 3D experience. Its visual editor lets users place and rotate virtual objects in an AR scene or on a canvas, using objects from its built-in library or imported USDZ files. Finished scenes can be exported as USDZ. The app also supports guided LiDAR photogrammetry capture on iPhone 12 Pro or later and iPad Pro 5th generation or later. Projects can be transferred between the iOS app and the Reality Composer app bundled with Xcode for Mac, and scenes can be shared for viewing on iPhone and iPad through AR Quick Look. The listing covers iOS, macOS, and Windows; its App Store requirements are iOS 17.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 17.0 or later on iPad. Reality Composer is free. Apple says it may collect usage data for product interaction analytics that is not linked to the user. Reality Composer Pro 3 is a separate Mac tool for preparing 3D content for visionOS and iOS apps, with live preview on Apple Vision Pro.

STYLY is a spatial layer platform for creating, distributing, and experiencing digital content in urban and living spaces. STYLY Studio lets users build scenes in a browser and publish or share them through STYLY Gallery. Location-alignment features support XR scenes indoors, outdoors, in cities, and in facilities. Businesses can publish content to the STYLY app’s event tab without developing an app, and management features include event hosting, data analytics, scene transfers, and restricted access. A Unity plugin uploads Prefabs and Scenes and supports custom shaders, Shuriken particle systems, PlayMaker interactive content, and Mecanim animations; C# scripts are not supported. Studio accepts uploads up to 1.7 GB, but the maker recommends total scenes below 100 MB and each prefab below 20 MB for stable operation. Listed destinations include iOS, Android, web, and selected headsets. Creator is free with limited commercial use. Business costs $799 a month and includes commercial use for all scenes, all location-alignment features, scene transfer, restricted access, and email support.
