Meshy
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Meshy when generated assets have to stay private by default and your own code has to call the API: on that page the embedded structured data and FAQ put the private license and API access at Pro and above (20 USD per month), while Free outputs are CC BY 4.0 and require attribution.
When to skip it For non-Enterprise accounts, API-generated assets are kept for at most 3 days and then deleted automatically, so anything worth keeping has to be downloaded; Free gives only 100 credits a month, its outputs are CC BY 4.0 (commercial with attribution), and its queue priority is lower than paid plans. For game models with human-checked topology, the closer directory record is Kaedim; for open-weight generation you can batch locally, the closer record is Microsoft TRELLIS. This is not a ranked review.
Verified price: Free 0 — USD (100 credits / month); Pro 20 — USD / month (annual 240 — USD / year, 1,000 credits / month); Premium 40 — USD / month (3,000 credits / month); Ultra 100 — USD / month (8,000 credits / month); Studio 70 — USD / month (annual 840 — USD / year, 5,500 shared credits / month). (region: not stated, checked 2026-10-12). Annual prices are not converted to monthly.
Official sourcePolycam
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Polycam when a room or object must become a measurable asset with floor plans, point cloud exports and virtual walkthroughs: the page puts those measurement features in the Business tier while the free tier keeps 3 AI captures and .gltf export.
When to skip it The 7-day trial comes only with annual Basic and Business, monthly plans need payment upfront with no trial, Enterprise has no trial, and cancelling a yearly plan brings no prorated refund. For clean-topology single-object game assets the closer directory record is Kaedim; to pay per credit and try several image and video models instead of a monthly scanning app subscription, the closer record is Luma AI. This is not a ranked review.
Verified price: Free 0; Basic 30 / month, 150 / year; Business 400 / user / year; Enterprise 1,200 / user / year (min 3 seats) — USD; annual billing view shows 12.50 and 33 / month, not standalone monthly prices (region: not stated, checked 2026-10-12). Annual prices are not converted to monthly.
