Conclusion

In term of limitations, there are no specific limitations between these platforms. I have
searched on forums, websites and articles and most of the things that they said is that ARKit
has a greater measurement accuracy without any need to calibrate a scene. Vuforia's
measurement accuracy depends on what platform you're developing for. ARCore and
Wikitude measurement accuracy is inferior to ARKit.
