Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of ZapWorks ZapWorks is a content authoring platform for creating and publishing immersive, interactive short-form AR, VR and MR content experiences for handheld devices. Zapcodes, which can be customized to reflect enterprise business branding, are used to point compatible mobile devices and browsers to the published, cloud-hosted AR experience. Each zapcode is tracked and has its own analytics in terms of user engagement that can be viewed within the platform's activity dashboard. ZapWorks Studio is the platform's own integrated development environment (IDE) available for desktop, boasting a 3D viewer and code editor for its JavaScript-based scripting language. The companion Zappar mobile app for iOS and Android allows users to point the device camera at a zapcode, Zappar-powered products or images in order to render the AR experience on screen. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.4/5** | 8 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 3.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 3.8/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 80% | (8/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Zappar - **Location**: London, UK - **Founded**: 2011 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$45,00 - **Pricing model**: Per Feature (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: ZAPWORKS FOR PERSONAL (Non-commercial): 5 free experiences plus $1.50 per additional experience ZAPWORKS FOR BUSINESS: BASIC: $35 per seat, per month (paid annually, or $45/month paid monthly) PRO: $99 per seat, per month (paid annually or $135/month paid monthly) ENTERPRISE (Custom plan): Contact for pricing quote ZAPWORKS FOR EDUCATION: $247 per year APP EMBED: $8000 per year - **Target Audience**: 51–200, 201–500, 501–1 000, 1 001–5 000, 5 001–10 000, 10 000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: United Kingdom, United States ## Features - 3D Objects - API - Activity Dashboard - Content Creation - Custom Development - Customizable Branding - Drag & Drop - For Sales/Marketing - Modeling & Simulation - Real World Backdrop - Social Media Integration - Software Development - Superimposed Objects - Video Support - Virtual Reality ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [Augmented Reality Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/1403/augmented-reality/software) ## Alternatives 1.

The Zapworks Studio tool is a great way to get into developing for Augmented Reality(AR) experiences through it's easy to use GUI and timeline features. This ease of use is highlighted in the fact that to start creating interactive AR experiences you don't even have to know any code. > > **Cons**: When it's time to start doing extra things above and beyond the basics that involve scripting Zapworks Studio can be tricky. It's not for the faint of heart or beginning coder. If you have soem C\# or Javascript background it will serve you well however the Zapworks hybrid script can still be challenging to get started with even with that background. From an experience point of view the more you come in with the easier a transition it is. > > So far as an organization and contractor in the learning and development space Zapworks Studio has been a key addition to our development toolbox. We have started developing interactive experiences and more immersive training options for the learners and Zapworks has allowed us to enhance and expand on that. The ease of use to get started creating and the possibility of more advanced development through scripting makes this a valuable fit to our team. We have a wide range of coding experience between the group of developers and Zapworks studio allows for all of us to get involved at some level in the creation of training. If your looking to get started developing for AR Zapworks Studio is a great tool to use. ----- ### "Good and versatile AR production software" — 5.0/5 > **Frans** | *15 November 2017* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ZapWorks is a very versatile and can be used for simple video-based augmentations as well as very complex and interactive 3D works. With Zappar, almost anything can be achieved one way or another and it is always great to see the wow-effect of augmented reality. ZapBox, a recent addition to the ZapWorks family increases this wow-effect even more. ZapWorks handles the software/infrastructure/cloud side of things very well and allows us designers to concentrate on only the fun part (=design \& implementation\!). ZapWorks is also reasonably priced and delivers serious bang for buck. > > **Cons**: Some restrictions like flat target images (not round surface or 3d tracking) and the must to include the zapcode limit some possible use scenarios. Also the lack of dynamic lights in 3D is slightly challenging, but luckily textures can be baked to 3D-assets nicely. > > We offer custom augmented reality solutions to companies and cities and use ZapWorks as our publishing tool for AR. ----- ### "Doesn't play nice in the sandbox" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 October 2018* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool is very simple to use and most users, even non creative ones, can create an experience quickly. > > **Cons**: Zappar's proprietary tools restrict the user from using industry standard formats. Zapworks allows users to create experiences easily but with extremely limited creative freedom. The end result is "AR Lite". ----- ### "I started with ZapWorks because of a KickStarter they had forZapBox." — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *16 March 2018* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the easy to use interface. The video tutorials and forms are a massive help to me. I love how I can ask questions on the forms and get help from the developers. > > **Cons**: I would like a better way to work with 3d models inside ZapWorks. I'm new to 3d models so having it in ZapWorks would help me out a lot. > > An easy way of making AR experiences. ----- ### "Zapworks is a really friendly AR tool, easy to use whatever skills and experience with AR." — 5.0/5 > **Milenne** | *16 May 2018* | Design > > **Pros**: The fact that is user friendly. The interface is straight forward and you can build all the funcionality even if you don't know how to code. And of course, if you do then even better. What is really important is the support. 10 out of 10 when you have a question, the support team is brilliant and you always get the help you need. > > **Cons**: I cannot think of a negative. I think the documentation can be improved with more practical tutorials. I have learned most of it from the tutorials so the more the better. Having said that the tutorials are really good, well explained and step by step making it very easy for anyone to follow. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/113311/zapworks?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/113311/zapworks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
