EthicalSmartGrid vs Interactive Physics
Both stand on physics simulation software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan API
EthicalSmartGrid provides a configurable learning environment for studying ethical behavior in shared-energy scenarios. Its simplified model and AJAR dependency for argumentation rewards define the main boundaries for use.

EthicalSmartGrid: what it does well
- Free MIT-licensed source code
- Gymnasium and PettingZoo environments
- Configurable agents, profiles, and constraints
- Private local observations for each agent
- Numeric and optional argumentation rewards
What to know first
- Simulator is explicitly simplified
- Argumentation rewards require AJAR
- No lesson library or assessment tools
- Importing argumentation rewards without AJAR raises an error
Interactive Physics: what it does well
- Models many mechanical components
- Measures velocity, force, momentum and energy
- Shows numerical, graph and vector results
- Includes lessons and laboratory models
- Runs on macOS and Windows
What to know first
- No free plan
- Homework licenses limit bodies and constraints
- Some Working Model features are absent
- Homework and Student Editions lack technical support
