Vuforia requires a separate Model Target Generator app to prepare tracking data. Advanced Model Targets upload your model to the cloud. XRTracker handles everything inside Unity Editor — no external tools needed.
Vuforia's free plan limits you to 20 Model Target creations with watermarks and no publishing. Paid plans require "contact sales." XRTracker's Developer license is free with no creation limits — register from the Unity Editor and start tracking immediately.
Vuforia Model Targets are primarily designed for static objects. An ADAPTIVE mode exists but offers limited motion support. XRTracker tracks objects being held, moved, and rotated continuously — ideal for assembly guidance, product demos, and interactive applications.
Try XRTracker free — no payment, no credit card, no cloud account.
