The short version

  • Only Horizon Worlds has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; MeetinVR the free Guest and Trial tiers add a watermark to sessions; removing it requires the Pro plan
  • They diverge on capability: Horizon Worlds covers World building, MeetinVR covers VR meetings.
