This paper will compare two free versions of robotic simulation programs. All of them aim to offer an entrance into the world of robots in an easy way and with fewer resources. How can it enhance these student learning? This paper will compare two free versions of robotic simulation programs, IDE HedgeHog and Thymio Suite. One system is a web-based simulation in a web browser and does not need an installation. The other is a program on the computer; therefore, a program is to download and install on the computer. Both have different program languages, like text-based or visual-based programming languages, for different difficulty levels. A research design in which 124 students were asked to solve different tasks and responded to an online survey indicates that both simulations are user-friendly and helpful for beginners. They are useful tools to engage students in educational robotics activities or test programme codes in a virtual environment before they are transferred to physical settings.
