Blendkit vs Sketchfab

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.

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.
