ShapeDiver vs Twikit

ShapeDiver hosts Grasshopper files in the cloud and turns them into browser-based applications, including 3D product configurators. It lets teams share design tools without revealing the original Grasshopper code. A free account includes 50 monthly credits, and the 14-day trial provides access to all platform features with up to 60 seconds of computation time; account creation does not require a credit card. The platform offers APIs and SDKs for custom applications, with TypeScript, Python, and .NET SDKs listed for Business. Named integrations include Shopify, WooCommerce, iJewel3D, Speckle, Autodesk Forma, and VIKTOR.ai. ShapeDiver supports more than 40 Grasshopper plugins, though availability and limits depend on the plan. Its security documentation describes SOC 2 Type 2 verification and encryption of account, model, and computation data at rest and in transit. Startup costs €199/month with annual billing; Business costs €499/month with annual billing. Enterprise pricing is custom, and private server options are available, but on-premises deployment is not offered.

Twikit is a cloud platform for connecting 3D product configuration with product rules, pricing and production workflows. Its three components cover building configurators, managing product operations and presenting customer-facing configuration: Create defines rules, dependencies and constraints without code; Hub manages products, prices, sales channels, orders, approvals and production outputs; Live lets customers configure products in 3D on websites or dealer portals. Live validates selections and updates prices as customers make choices. Rendering uses WebGL or Unreal Engine, and a JavaScript SDK supports integration into custom frontends. The platform can produce bills of materials, cutting lists, CAD files, PDFs, DXF files and ERP-compatible files. Twikit describes an open API structure and names SAP, Shopify and Odoo among connectable systems. Its listed commerce integrations also include Magento / Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce and headless commerce platforms. Twikit says most implementations are delivered by trained teams or certified partners. Pricing is on request; the site directs visitors to book a demo. Twikit is based in Antwerp, Belgium, and was founded in 2013.
