The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Quill quill.art, run by Smoothstep LLC, discloses no pricing anywhere on its own site (confirmed by direct fetch); Quill was originally a Facebook/Meta product and was handed to its creator Inigo Quilez in 2021 when Meta open-sourced the Quill file format and stopped supporting the original Oculus Store listing, so buyers today are dealing with a small independent studio rather than a large platform vendor.; Apple Vision Pro vision correction requires a valid prescription and not all prescriptions are supported
  • They diverge on capability: Quill covers VR illustration, Apple Vision Pro covers Spatial computing.
