About Spline

Spline is for designers who want 3D on the web without a 3D pipeline. It occupies the space Figma occupies for interfaces: browser-based, multiplayer, and centered on the shipped artifact — an interactive scene embedded in a real product — rather than on asset files handed off to someone else's engine.

That framing explains its shape. Scenes support events, physics, and game-style controls without code; exports go out as live web embeds, React code, video, or native app components. The AI add-on slots generation into this workflow: prompt a prop into existence, generate a texture, restyle a scene — useful precisely because it happens inside the tool where the scene is being built, not as a separate generator whose output needs importing.

The boundaries are just as clear. Teams producing game-engine assets at volume belong with Meshy or Tripo, whose generation quality and credit economics are built for it, and very heavy scenes strain browser rendering. Spline wins when the deliverable is experiential — marketing sites, configurators, product visualizations — where its combination of design control, collaboration, and embedded interactivity has no direct substitute.

Key Features

Real-time 3D design entirely in the browser
AI 3D generation, AI textures, and style transfer ($5/seat add-on, 2,000 credits/month)
Interactive events, physics, and game controls without code
Web embeds that stay live and interactive on your site
Code exports for React and web frameworks
Native app exports for Apple and Android on Professional
Multiplayer collaboration like Figma for 3D
Material, audio, and template libraries

Spline prices like a design tool, not a generator: per-seat plans with AI as an add-on. Free covers limited files with unlimited viewers and watermarked web exports — genuinely usable for learning. Starter at $12/month billed yearly ($15 monthly) unlocks unlimited files, watermark-free web exports, and the material and audio libraries. Professional at $20/month yearly ($25 monthly) adds video export, native app exports for Apple and Android, and code exports. Enterprise is custom with SSO, centralized licensing, and version history. The AI layer is a separate add-on at $5/month per seat, including 2,000 monthly AI credits for 3D generation, AI textures, and style transfer. The practical read: Spline is the right buy when the deliverable is an interactive experience — the AI accelerates asset creation inside that workflow rather than being the product itself.

  • Not a pipeline tool for game-engine asset production

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Spline a 3D generator like Meshy or Tripo?
No — it's a 3D design and interactivity tool with AI generation built in as an accelerant. Meshy and Tripo optimize for producing asset files; Spline optimizes for the finished interactive experience — the 3D website, configurator, or app scene — with AI helping create objects along the way.
What does the Spline AI add-on include?
For $5/month per seat, each editor gets 2,000 monthly AI credits covering 3D object generation from prompts, AI texture generation, and style transfer. Enterprise plans can buy custom credit packages. It's optional — the core design tool works fully without it.
Can I put Spline scenes on my website?
Yes — live, interactive embeds are the core output. Free exports carry a watermark; Starter removes it for exports and Professional for embeds, and Professional adds code export for React and native app export for Apple and Android.
