Likelihood to Recommend Apple ARKit is best where AR experience will enhance user understanding of the product.

Read full review Vuforia Engine has limited functionalities compared to ARCore. It has image-based detection and augmentation which requires users to have the anchor image with them for the augmentation to properly occur.
