The short version

  • Only Horizon Worlds has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Glue glue has been acquired, and the pricing page carries a Glue Has Been Acquired notice; Horizon Worlds free to download but its full multiplayer VR experience requires Meta Quest headset hardware; the iOS/mobile app is a companion rather than a substitute for the headset
  • They diverge on capability: Glue covers VR meetings, Horizon Worlds covers World building.
