Hi3D vs Meshy

Hi3D is an AI image-to-3D tool that turns images into models using Math Magic’s Sparc3D and Ultra3D models. It supports both single-image and multi-view generation, along with text-to-3D, AI texturing, 3D relief generation, and a tool for dividing characters into printable parts. Exports include FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL, and USDZ, and models can be sent directly to Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer. The wider integration list includes Snapmaker, Creality Print, ElegooSlicer, ComfyUI, and Blender. Developers and enterprises can use its Open Platform API; API operations are priced by model and resolution, with one credit listed at $0.020. The Free plan includes 100 lifetime credits, up to 10 asset generations, one concurrent task, and storage for seven models; those models are public under CC BY 4.0. Paid plans include private and commercial use, and the listed pricing note says paid plans start at $19.90/mo. Hi3D Scan supports video capture or gallery upload for model reconstruction. Platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API.

Meshy creates 3D assets from text, images, or creative concepts for users to preview, edit, and export. Text-to-3D generates textured models from written descriptions, while Image-to-3D works from photos, sketches, or concept art. It can auto-rig humanoid and quadruped characters and offers more than 600 motion presets. For 3D printing, Meshy says its models are watertight and manifold; its printability check scans exports and can repair some edge cases. Integrations include Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Roblox Studio, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, and Creality Print, along with a REST API and MCP server. The Android and iOS app syncs with the web app and exports formats including STL, GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, and 3MF. The web app has a 100 MB upload limit for AI texturing and accepts one model at a time. Meshy has a free plan; Pro starts at $20 a month. Free-plan assets use CC BY 4.0 and require attribution for commercial use.
