In their own words
Blendkit
Blendkit is an asset library integrated directly into Blender 3D. Its collection includes models, materials, brushes, scenes, HDRIs, node groups and add-ons, with about half of the library completely free. The Free plan lists 23,300 models, 40,938 materials, 1,070 scenes, 4,994 HDRIs, 1,272 brushes, uploads and 200 MiB of private storage. Full costs $9.90 a month and Business costs $29 a month; both list larger collections, more storage and extra add-ons. Downloads are unlimited during a subscription period. Uploaded assets receive a quality check, and licensing options include Royalty-free and CC0 for commercial and non-commercial use. The Blender add-on requires Blender 3.0 or newer and works best with the latest Blender LTS version. Experimental plugins are offered for Godot, Maya and Rhino. The free Maya plugin supports browsing and dragging assets into Maya but is in early alpha; the Rhino plugin supports Rhino 8 on Windows and macOS, including Apple Silicon. Blendkit says 5% of subscription fees go to open-source development and the Blender Development Fund.
