3D Product Config vs 3DBAE

3D Product Config is a no-code platform for creating and publishing interactive 3D product configurators for eCommerce brands, manufacturers, and retailers. Its viewer lets customers rotate, zoom, and explore products in 360°, with hotspot annotations and HDR lighting environments. Configurators can offer product options, conditional logic, dynamic pricing, and variant management, then be published with an embed code. Starter costs $29 USD per month and includes 20 configurators, 100 model files, and 200 texture files. Pro costs $49 USD per month and includes eCommerce integration and augmented reality, with higher listed file and configurator limits. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Supported model formats include OBJ, GLB, FBX, STL, and Collada (DAE); texture formats include PNG, JPG, and HDR. Native integrations include Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and Wix, with a RESTful API and iframe for other platforms. Pro AR supports iOS AR Quick Look, Android ARCore, and browser-based WebXR without an app download. The platform is described as serving 14+ industries, and its infrastructure as SOC 2 compliant.

3DBAE is a browser workspace for creating interactive 3D product experiences and publishing them as embeddable viewers. Its configurator supports material and model variants, hotspots, animation, on-screen controls, interaction logic and a JavaScript Model API. Canvas links images, prompts and AI tools for visual workflows involving product imagery, video and image-to-3D generation. The product lists 12 import formats and 8 export formats, including GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, PLY, SPLAT, SPZ and SOG. Viewers can be embedded with an iframe, and supported scenes can open in AR on iPhone or Android. Live Link connects Autodesk 3ds Max 2024–2027 on 64-bit Windows to a browser project and syncs the exportable scene. Hobby costs nothing and includes one project, up to two models and two environment assets, and no AI credits. Professional costs $12 a month. Projects remain private unless shared or published; public viewer links and embeds make the scene and rendering files available to people with access.
