| Purpose | EdScratch is a Scratch-based, vertical drag-and-drop visual programming language for Edison robots. | Blockly lets children make programs for the Dash robot using coding challenges and a drag-and-drop visual programming interface. |
| Security | The opened EdScratch product and support pages did not state security or compliance certifications. | The trust page describes commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards and says it cannot guarantee perfect security. |
| Support | The maker provides tutorials, troubleshooting FAQs, a warning-message guide, and contact options for support. | The maker provides a help and support center and directs users with device compatibility questions to its customer support team. |
EdScratch suits students aged 10 and up who are learning to program Edison robots, including those without prior coding experience. Teachers can use its lesson activities and teacher’s guide.
Blockly suits children learning coding concepts through projects and puzzles, as well as teachers tracking puzzle progress. The free tier is for users with a physical Dash robot; a paid account adds Virtual Dash on iOS and Chrome.
