The short version

  • Only Armory3D has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Apple Vision Pro vision correction requires a valid prescription and not all prescriptions are supported; Armory3D compiled binaries are sold to fund the project while the source code itself is free to build from scratch
  • They diverge on capability: Apple Vision Pro covers Spatial computing, Armory3D covers Blender integration.
