Overview

Spline makes 3D accessible in the browser, with a focus on interactive scenes that can be embedded in a website. It is more approachable than a full 3D suite, but also more limited for film-grade work. The free plan watermarks web exports, so factor in a paid seat for client work. The notes come from its pricing page.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Designers adding 3D and interactive elements to websites
  • People who collaborate on 3D scenes in real time

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • High-end film rendering (see Cinema 4D)
  • Anyone avoiding a per-seat subscription

Pricing

Free plan; Hobby $12/mo, Pro $25/mo billed annually (listed $15 and $30 monthly). As of Oct 2026, verify.

  • Free: limited personal files, watermarked web exports.
  • Hobby: $12 per seat per month billed annually, 2,000 monthly AI credits.
  • Pro: $25 per seat per month billed annually; higher AI credit allowances can be added.
  • Paid plans remove the watermark on web exports and unlock unlimited 3D and 2D files.
