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
Pricing Plans
Estimate this tool in your stackSpline 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.
