Free: 100 credits a month, and a real look at the engine

Meshy’s Free plan needs no credit card and gives you 100 monthly credits, which the pricing page translates to up to 10 assets a month. You get one concurrent task, low queue priority and basic AI features, with downloads capped at 10 Meshy 6 Lite models. Assets carry a CC BY 4.0 licence, meaning commercial use with attribution.

Each plan pairs a credit total with an asset cap, so the figure to compare across tiers is the monthly asset ceiling. On Free that ceiling is ten finished things a month — enough for a hobby printer testing whether a chat prompt can become a watertight, manifold STL that slices in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer, or a student turning a sketch into something to show.

Image to 3D, Text to 3D and AI Texturing are all included at this level. What Free does not include is multi-view image to 3D, text to image, private licensing or community model downloads. Treat it as a working trial rather than a dead end, and you can generate your first model in under a minute.

Meshy states it has over 12 million users and more than 100 million generated models, so the free tier is a well-trodden entry point.

Pro at $20: private licensing and unlimited downloads

Pro is listed as best for individual creators at $20, with 1,000 monthly credits — up to 100 assets. Concurrency jumps from 1 to 10 tasks, queue priority goes high, generation runs 60% faster, and you get 4 free retries per task in the web app plus 20% off extra credit packs.

The bigger shift is licensing. Every asset on Pro is private and customer owned, which matters the moment you sell a miniature or ship a game. Downloads of your own models and community models become unlimited, as do image generations by credits and animation with the 600+ motion library.

Pro also opens the full DCC bridge — Roblox, Blender, Godot, Unity, Unreal, Maya, 3ds Max — plus API and 3D platform plugins, full API Playground access, the API Console, and MCP and Skill support for AI agents. A solo game developer gets the most here: 100 assets a month, auto-rigging for humanoid and quadruped characters, Low Poly Mode with a poly count you control, and FBX or GLB straight into the engine.

With the 50% off first month offer for new users, stepping up from Free is a cheap experiment.

Premium at $40 and Ultra at $100: volume and Creative Lab

Premium sits at $40 with 3,000 monthly credits, up to 300 assets, 30 concurrent tasks, queue priority higher than Pro, 80% faster generation and 12 free retries per task. On top of everything in Pro, you get early access to new features, 4 free Creative Lab images a day and a $30 free shipping coupon.

That profile fits a miniature seller running a catalogue. Three hundred assets a month covers a lot of variants, and the Creative Lab shipping coupon connects to Meshy’s print-and-ship option for creators without a printer. One Meshy user, a tabletop RPG creator, describes going from his own character design to a 28mm or 32mm miniature in hand in under a day.

Ultra at $100 is pitched at AI agents and advanced workflows: 8,000 monthly credits, up to 800 assets, 100 concurrent tasks, highest queue priority, 80% faster generation, 40 free retries and 12 free Creative Lab images a day. The 100 concurrent tasks is the headline — if you are driving Meshy through the API, the CLI or the MCP server inside Claude or Cursor, parallel throughput is what you are paying for.

Studio at $70: a shared pool and $10 seats

Studio is built for teams: a 5,500-credit monthly pool shared across your team, up to 550 assets, with seats at $10 per month each and the package scalable at 1X, 3X or 5X. You get 60 concurrent tasks, queue priority higher than Pro, 80% faster generation and 24 free retries per task.

Beyond Pro’s feature set, Studio adds team management, centralised billing, shared team credits, team model annotations, 14-day API asset retention and a Team Usage Console. For a small studio, that shared pool is the point — nobody sits on unused credits while a colleague runs dry, and billing arrives in one place.

Above that, Enterprise covers customisable credit balance, 100 concurrent tasks, full API access, forever API asset retention, multiple team and workspace management, SAML SSO, configurable data retention and dedicated account support.

Picking your tier, and starting in under a minute

The short version: hobby printers can live on Free’s 10 assets a month. Solo game developers want Pro at $20 for private licensing, unlimited downloads, 600+ animation presets and the full engine bridge. Miniature sellers lean Premium for 300 assets and Creative Lab perks. Agent-driven pipelines take Ultra for 8,000 credits and 100 concurrent tasks. Small teams take Studio for the shared 5,500-credit pool and $10 seats.

Every paid tier includes access to the 3D Agent, which brainstorms directions, generates concepts in batches and converts your pick into a model exported as FBX, OBJ, GLB or STL. Meshy holds a 4.8 rating on both G2 and Trustpilot.

No credit card is needed to begin, and the 50% off first month offer means the step up from Free costs little to test. Sign up, describe an idea or drop in a photo, and have your first 3D model back in under a minute.
