Export five commercial game props within US$30 for the month
No row currently establishes every condition within a US$30 monthly payment. Sloyd Plus documents unlimited image-to-3D and texturing, GLB export and scoped royalty-free commercial use, but its $15 monthly figure does not identify a currency or market. Meshy documents textured GLB/FBX downloads and a 180-prepaid-API-credit calculation for the specified five generations, remeshes and conversions; Web Pro’s API access does not establish that its subscription credits pay those API charges, and this guide has not established the complete paid-output commercial conditions. Tripo’s task-specific consumption and Rodin’s first payment also remain unresolved. Manual cleanup is allowed by this brief, but neither the published rates nor export and licence statements guarantee five satisfactory assets.

The task
Spend at most US$30 for one month, without annual prepayment, to generate five textured props from reference images and export them as GLB or FBX for a commercial game, with manual cleanup allowed.
Candidates
Meets the documented conditions is not the same as a completed task: it means the conditions listed in the official pages are satisfied, and the limits below still apply.
Meshy Pro using the Meshy 6 API
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: The recorded Pro Web plan is US$20 a month with 1, 000 credits and API access. The separate API rate table prices five Meshy 6 textured2K/4K generations, each with one remesh and conversion, at 5×(30+5+1)=180 prepaid API credits before retries. The pages read do not establish that those API credits are included in the Web subscription, so a complete US$30 bill is unconfirmed.
The API documents textured model downloads including GLB and FBX. Its listed 180-credit calculation excludes retries and does not guarantee five satisfactory assets. API access on a Web plan does not establish that Web subscription credits pay for these prepaid API requests, and the complete paid-output commercial-use conditions have not been established from this guide’s own evidence. The full US$30 commercial game-prop task therefore remains unconfirmed.
- This is the specified API model and parameters, not a web price and not the default rate of the newest model.
- No success rate, cleanup time or engine result was tested, so this is not "game-ready" output.
Sloyd Plus
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: Plus displays$15 a month billed monthly, and $12.50 a month equivalent with $150 billed yearly. The page does not name a currency code or market, so a currency-qualified comparison with this task’s US$30 cap is not established; the annual total is not used as monthly billing.
The generation and rights conditions are documented on the vendor’s own pages: Plus lists unlimited image-to-3D and AI texturing; the plan table names GLB and OBJ, while the general export FAQ also names FBX. Plus and Pro include commercial use, and the FAQ permits commercial games, products and content without royalties. The 50 monthly Plus credits are for add-ons rather than basic image-to-3D or texturing. The full task remains unconfirmed because the page’s $15 monthly figure has no identified currency or market, so it cannot yet be compared with US$30. No asset, engine import or cleanup time was tested; the documented rights and capacity are not erased by that absence of a test.
- “Unlimited” is bounded by the terms: rate, concurrency and storage limits may apply; circumventing them is prohibited, as is abusive, excessive or automated usage that materially degrades service performance. Stored projects are not guaranteed to last indefinitely.
- Marketplace resale or redistribution of the web-app models themselves is Pro-only and marked Not allowed on Plus, although a freelancer may sell content that includes Sloyd models directly to a client.
- The pricing page prints only a $ sign, with no currency code or region. The yearly$150 charge, displayed as$12.50 a month, is an annual payment rather than monthly billing.
- The plan table lists exports as "Community models only" for Guest and "Unlimited" for Plus and Pro, but the per-plan format list is only GLB and OBJ, and FBX is named in the FAQ rather than in the plan table.
- Whether your content is used to train Sloyd's models is not stated on the terms or the privacy policy read here; the licence table's "AI training with models" row restricts the user instead (Not allowed on Guest and Plus, Contact us on Pro).
Tripo Studio Pro
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: The current Studio table lists Pro at $20 monthly with 3,000 monthly credits and unlimited exports; the commercial-use help separately grants paid users output rights subject to terms and input rights. ISO billing currency, purchase market, private-output entitlement and the exact five-prop generation/texture/retry/conversion total remain unconfirmed. An annual card or discount banner is not this task’s verified monthly bill.
Studio subscription credits cannot fund API calls: API credits must be bought separately. The conversion document describes an API interface and formats, not a guarantee of equivalent Studio features. The selected Studio image-to-model, texturing and export workflow and its full generation, texture, retry and conversion consumption remain unverified; no five-prop workflow was executed here.
- Studio and API wallets are separate purchases.
- Tripo’s commercial-use help and current terms do not grant Free users commercial output rights; Tripo retains Free inputs/outputs and their IP. Paid rights must not be transferred to Free, and Free-output privacy remains unestablished here. A qualifying free commercial route for this task is not established.
Hyper3D Rodin Creator
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: US$30 monthly on the pricing page, where US$288 is the annual total. The terms page read on 2 November 2026 states that a chosen plan cannot be cancelled or downgraded within its subscription period, and does not state a minimum two-month lump-sum payment, so the first amount due remains unverified.
Unconfirmed, and not recommended as a US$30 single-month purchase. GLB and FBX are listed, but five-asset consumption, retry costs and the actual first bill remain unchecked, and estimated model counts are not guaranteed output.
- Do not substitute ChatAvatar free-tier limits for Rodin.
- The homepage documents a programmatic Rodin API entry and common export formats; it does not establish a transfer of Studio licences, wallet balances or limits to that API. The selected route’s rights and bill still need their own evidence.
How free plans differ
The earlier Meshy free-page record allowed limited Meshy6Lite downloads under attribution-based CC BY4.0, while another registered help record said free output could not be downloaded; this historical disagreement must not be silently treated as a current complete free route. Web free credits also do not establish funding for the prepaid API calculation. Tripo’s complete current Free publicity and commercial-use conditions were not established in the materials reviewed, so neither public/non-commercial restrictions nor commercial permission is inferred from a free price. No free route here establishes this entire commercial five-prop brief.
Next check
Close the documentary cost gaps first: identify Sloyd’s billing currency and market, or establish the actual Meshy API credit purchase, wallet and commercial licence for the selected route. A permitted later asset test would then check texture packing, UVs, normals, scale, polygon count and engine import on one authorised reference image, and record the credits consumed before budgeting the other four. No such asset test was run here. Keep textures with their associated files; STL is not a textured GLB or FBX substitute.
Where every claim comes from
Each link was opened and read on the date shown. The note describes what that page actually supports.
- Meshy - which plan is right for you ↗
Pro at US$20 a month with 1,000 credits and API access.
- Meshy - API pricing ↗
The API uses prepaid API credits. Meshy 6 image-to-3D with 2K/4K textures is30 credits; one remesh5 and convert1. Thus five tasks plus one of each per asset total180 API credits before retries. This does not establish that a Pro Web subscription’s1, 000 credits pay for these API requests.
- Meshy - image to 3D API ↗
Image-to-3D documents meshy-6 and 2K/4K texture options, optional texturing, and downloadable model URLs including GLB/FBX. This is API capability, not proof of Web/API credit transfer or satisfactory assets.
- Meshy - pricing and formats ↗
The download formats and plan-level download rights.
- Meshy - free plan scope ↗
Limited Meshy 6 Lite downloads under CC BY 4.0 attribution, conflicting with the other help page on free downloads.
- Tripo - pricing ↗
Current table lists Pro$20/month,3,000monthlycredits and unlimitedexports. Icon-only private/commercial cells are not reliably mapped in this extraction; ISOcurrency, purchase market and exact five-prop consumption remain unestablished. Historical registered scope read on 2026-09-23, not rechecked in full on 2026-10-15: Displayed Studio Pro price and credits, with the banner discrepancy noted.
- Tripo - Studio and API balances ↗
Studio subscription credits and API credits are separate purchases; Studio credits reset monthly while API credits follow their separate wallet. Historical registered scope read on 2026-09-23, not rechecked in full on 2026-10-15: Why Studio credits cannot be used to fund API usage.
- Tripo - model conversion ↗
This is an API model-conversion interface and format list, not a guarantee of identical Studio features or cost. Historical registered scope read on 2026-09-23, not rechecked in full on 2026-10-15: The current conversion interface, its input and output formats, and its separate limits.
- Rodin - pricing ↗
Creator is shown at $30 monthly or $288 yearly, with estimated output; the captured price page does not label the dollar currency or establish checkout eligibility.
- Rodin - terms ↗
The terms bar cancelling or downgrading inside the subscription period; no minimum two-month lump sum appears on the page read on 2 November 2026, so the first bill stays unverified.
- Rodin - product and formats ↗
The homepage lists a Rodin API entry and STL,FBX,OBJ,GLB,GLTF,USDZ export formats. It does not establish Studio/API wallet,licence or quota transfer,or the exact five-asset task cost.
- Sloyd - pricing ↗
Plus displays$15/month or $150 billed yearly ($12.50/month equivalent), with no currency code/market. Image-to-3D and texturing are unlimited with 50 add-on credits; paid commercial use and royalty-free games are listed. Exports are community-only on Guest/unlimited on Plus/Pro; the standard-format label listsGLB/OBJ while the FAQ also namesFBX. The AI-training row restricts users, not vendor training.
- Sloyd - terms of use ↗
Terms §6/7 allow commercial use within licence conditions and reserve model marketplace resale for Pro. §9 does not guarantee indefinite storage. §10 allows rate/concurrency/storage limits, prohibits circumvention, and prohibits abusive/excessive/automated usage that materially degrades service performance.
- Sloyd - privacy policy ↗
Last updated 28 September 2026. The page contains no training clause, so whether user content trains Sloyd's models stays unestablished.
- Sloyd - API pricing ↗
The API is a separate prepaid product: USD 1 = 75 API credits with a minimum trial purchase of USD 12 for 900 credits, billed separately from the Web App plan.
- Tripo — free/paid commercial rights / 免费与付费商用权利 ↗
OfficialHelp grants paid users commercial output use subject to inputrights and terms, while Free users receive no commercial grant and Tripo retains input/outputIP. This is not a proof of Free-output privacy or a workflow cost.
- Tripo — current terms / 当前条款 ↗
§5.2.1 retains Free input/outputrights; §5.2.2 grants conditional paiduser rights subject to service licence and compliance. The commercialHelp says Free has no commercial grant.
