Meshy

AI 3D model and texture generator

by Meshy

Overview

Meshy generates and processes 3D assets from text or images, and the workflows are separate rather than interchangeable. Text- and image-to-3D downloads come as FBX, OBJ, USDZ, GLB, STL or BLEND, while AI texturing takes an upload in FBX, OBJ, STL, GLTF or GLB one model at a time with a 100MB web limit - so the input list is not the output list. Remeshing offers a quad-dominant mesh or a simplified triangle mesh with a target face count from 100 to 300,000, and the actual count can drift from the target depending on the geometry, so a usable topology is something to inspect rather than assume; OBJ results need their material and texture files kept together, and PBR compatibility differs by format. On the free plan you get 100 credits a month, resetting on the 1st in UTC and not rolling over, with 10 free downloads a month that cover Meshy 6 Lite only, since Meshy 6 and 7 downloads need an upgrade; free output is CC BY 4.0, so commercial use is allowed with attribution, while assets generated under a paid plan keep their private licence and stay downloadable without limit even after a downgrade. Buying credit packs is not a subscription and does not grant API access. Meshy's own help pages disagree in places about the higher tiers and about whether free downloads exist at all, the pricing page states a 20% annual discount without our being able to read the resulting annual total, and the API pricing page read on 15 October describes prepaid API credits: Meshy 6 image-to-3D with 2K or 4K textures is 30 credits, remeshing 5 and conversion 1. Whether the Web subscription’s credits pay for these requests was not established, so the older shared-balance assertion is not used as a current entitlement - and failed tasks are refunded where a regeneration you simply did not like is not.

Meshy states that inputs and outputs from non-Enterprise customers may be used to train, validate, test or improve its services unless an order says otherwise, while Enterprise customer data is explicitly excluded from AI training under the terms. No self-service training opt-out is documented for the other tiers (Meshy Terms of Use and help centre, read 12 October 2026).

Editor's take

Reasonable for prototyping and for producing meshes that still need checking, and the free plan is genuinely usable if you can accept attribution and the Lite-only download limit. Three things decide whether it fits a paid job: the download and licence conditions change with the model rather than with the plan alone, the higher-tier prices and credit figures are inconsistent between Meshy's own help pages, so check the current checkout quote and the applicable terms before buying, and API requests use prepaid API credits; whether web subscription credits can pay for those requests is not established. We have not tested geometry quality, speed or how much cleanup an exported asset needs.

Our reading of who this suits, based on the sources above. Opinion, offered to help you decide - not a lab result.

Pros

✓Text, image and texture workflows in one place, with several common export formats
✓Remeshing, rigging and export checks are documented rather than left implicit
✓The free plan's conditions are stated: 100 credits a month with attribution-based commercial use under CC BY 4.0
✓Private-licence assets made on a paid plan stay downloadable without limit after a downgrade

Cons

✕Downloads are model-specific: the 10 free monthly downloads cover Meshy 6 Lite, and Meshy 6 or 7 downloads need an upgrade
✕Higher-tier prices and credit amounts conflict between Meshy's own help pages, so check the current checkout quote and the applicable terms before buying
✕The annual discount is stated as 20%, and we could not verify the exact annual amount due, so treat the first-month discount as a promotion rather than a renewal price
✕API pricing describes prepaid API credits; a shared balance with web subscription credits is not established
✕Exported topology and PBR compatibility vary by format, and a target face count is a request rather than a guarantee

Frequently Asked Questions

What is free, and can I use it commercially?

The free plan gives 100 credits a month, resetting on the 1st in UTC and not carrying over, with 10 free downloads a month limited to Meshy 6 Lite. Free output is under CC BY 4.0, which allows commercial use with attribution, so the paid tiers add private licensing and unlimited downloads rather than commercial rights that were absent. Meshy's own comparison page still states that free plans cannot download, which conflicts with its free-plan page, so confirm on the current plan page.

Which formats can I export?

Text- and image-to-3D downloads come as FBX, OBJ, USDZ, GLB, STL or BLEND. Texturing takes uploads in FBX, OBJ, STL, GLTF or GLB, one model at a time with a 100MB web limit. The two lists are different, and for OBJ the material and texture files need to travel with the mesh.

Does the subscription include API access?

The API pricing page read on 15 October documents prepaid API credits. Meshy 6 image-to-3D with 2K/4K textures costs 30 API credits, remeshing 5 and conversion 1. It does not establish that a Web Pro subscription’s 1,000 credits pay for these calls, so shared billing or wallet transfer is not promised. Actual API access and workload costs were not tested.

How much does it cost?

The plan comparison page currently shows Pro at $20 a month with 1,000 credits, Premium at $40 with 3,000, Ultra at $100 with 8,000 and Studio from $70 per seat a month with a base pool of 5,500, with credits resetting monthly and unlimited downloads and API access from Pro up. Other Meshy help pages give different figures for the top tiers, so check the current checkout quote and the applicable terms before buying; the pricing page states a 20% annual discount and we could not verify the resulting total, and the first-month 50% discount is a promotion rather than the renewal price.

The vendor pages we read for the claims on this page, what each one states, and the day we read it.

Meshy help - ComfyUI and the shared credit balance ↗
ComfyUI uses the same account credit balance as the web and API rather than a separate wallet, and the same task can cost different amounts through different routes.
Read on September 23, 2026
Meshy help - web generation credit costs ↗
Web generation costs are listed per task and per model - for example Smart-Rig is shown as 0 credits on the web while the API lists auto-rigging at 5 - so a web cost does not describe the API rate.
Read on September 23, 2026
Meshy help - API task credits and refunds ↗
API costs are listed per task: a Meshy 6 image-to-3D run is 20 credits without texture and 30 with 2K or 4K texture, remeshing 5 and conversion 1; tasks that fail technically are refunded, while regenerating a result you are simply unhappy with is not a technical failure.

Meshy - pricing ↗
The read web pricing display explicitly selects GBP: Pro £16/month (£8 first month), Premium £32/month (£16 first month), Ultra £80/month (£40 first month), billed monthly. It does not establish the selected purchaser country or final checkout/account qualification. Historical registered scope read on 2026-09-23, not rechecked in full on 2026-10-15: Text- and image-to-3D downloads are listed as FBX, OBJ, USDZ, GLB, STL and BLEND, while AI texturing accepts FBX, OBJ, STL, GLTF and GLB one model at a time with a 100MB web limit; the page states a 20% annual discount, and the exact annual amount due could not be verified from it.

Meshy - monthly credits help ↗
A third figure for the top tier appears here, stating Ultra at 10,000 credits, which does not match the plan comparison page - one of several internal conflicts in Meshy's own help material.
Read on September 23, 2026
Meshy - remesh API ↗
Remeshing produces a quad-dominant mesh or a simplified triangle mesh with a target face count between 100 and 300,000, and the documentation notes that the result can deviate from the target with geometric complexity.

Meshy - image to 3D API ↗
Historical registered scope from 2026-09-23; the entire statement was not re-read on 2026-10-15: The API accepts JPG, JPEG or PNG through an accessible URL or data URI and supports mesh, texture and PBR parameters; some low-poly and high-resolution options depend on the model version, and these API constraints are not the web input list. Official body read on 2026-10-15, limited to this scope: 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 - API pricing and task costs ↗
Historical registered scope from 2026-09-23; the entire statement was not re-read on 2026-10-15: Meshy 6 image-to-3D costs 20 credits without textures and 30 with 2K or 4K textures, remeshing 5 and conversion 1, with consumption varying by model and resolution; the API draws on the same account credit balance as the web while the rates differ, and Web Smart-Rig is listed at 0 against 5 for API auto-rigging. Official body read on 2026-10-15, limited to this scope: 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.
