What are the main benefits of using Vuforia compared to pure ARKit?

@bitentf There might be different advantage and disadvantages of both the Technologies i.e. Vuforia vs ARKit while building AR experiences. The biggest difference I believe is that Vuforia is not limited to iOS devices where as ARKit runs on limited and the latest iOS devices. Vuforia supports Android, iOS, Windows platform. Also, with Vuforia Studio you can leverage feature of getting real time data in your 2D/3D experience using ThingWorx IoT Platform. Additionally, Vuforia Engine allows development of powerful cross-platform AR application and you can check out URL for more details.

Assuming you are asking about Vuforia Studio and not Engine. The biggest benefit of Studio IMHO is that it's a platform so you don't have to develop the client app. This exists as Vuforia View and is available on Android, iOS and Windows. With Studio you can create and deploy content very quickly.
