In their own words
Sketchfab
Sketchfab is a platform for publishing and finding 3D content through an interactive viewer. The viewer can be embedded on websites, allowing 3D and VR viewing without leaving the host site. Its built-in editor adjusts orientation, materials, lighting, camera parameters, and post-processing filters. Upload formats include OBJ, FBX, Blender, STL, and glTF, and exporter plugins are available for Blender, Maya, SketchUp, Unity, and ZBrush. APIs support model uploads, data access, downloads, and viewer control or embedding. The Download API provides glTF, GLB, and USDZ, not source formats such as FBX and OBJ; owners control whether their models are downloadable. Basic is free and allows model files up to 50MB. Pro costs $15 a month billed yearly, with a 200MB model limit and private uploads. Premium costs $79 a month billed yearly, with a 500MB limit and advanced embed customization. Enterprise pricing is by quote.
