In their own words
ShapeDiver
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.
