Gives a landing page a 3D hero object, with a watermark until you pay. Spline is a browser-based 3D design tool for building interactive scenes and exporting them to the web. The Free plan lists limited personal files, unlimited file viewers, web exports with a watermark and access to the Spline Library. Hobby costs $15 a month ($12 billed annually) with unlimited 3D and 2D files, video upload and 2,000 monthly credits. Pro costs $30 a month ($25 annually) with unlimited folders and projects, video export and 3,000 credits. Max costs $70 a month ($60 annually) with 10,000 AI credits. Review data is small and mixed: G2 shows 2 reviews averaging 2.8 out of 5, and Capterra shows 2 reviews at 3.0. A r/Spline3D user said Spline works for very basic 3D linked from a website and gets data heavy beyond that. It suits designers adding simple 3D to a site who accept a watermark on free exports.

πŸ‘Ž Watch out

  • βˆ’Free web exports carry a watermark, and personal files are limited.
  • βˆ’A G2 reviewer said the interface felt clunky and needed multiple attempts to get even simple 3D models processed correctly.
  • βˆ’A G2 reviewer said some export file formats are paywalled.
  • βˆ’G2 shows only 2 reviews, averaging 2.8 out of 5 and split between five stars and one star.
  • βˆ’A r/Spline3D user said the point of Spline is very basic 3D for the web, because heavier scenes get data-expensive.
  • βˆ’A r/threejs poster said they got tired of paying about $20 a month just to export and tweak simple interactive 3D, so they built their own tool.
  • βˆ’A r/Spline3D user said they tried Spline's AI tool for a couple of days and cancelled.
  • βˆ’A r/blender answer said Spline can do some of the same modelling as Blender but is much more limited because it runs online.

The catch

The Free plan is for trying the editor. Web exports carry a watermark and personal files are limited. Hobby at $15 a month (or $12 billed annually) lifts the file limit, and Pro at $30 adds video export and unlimited folders and projects. Review evidence is thin and mixed. G2 shows two reviews, one positive and one negative, and Capterra shows two. One G2 reviewer said some export formats are paywalled. Reddit users describe Spline as suited to simple 3D on the web, with heavier scenes getting data-expensive, and one poster left over the monthly fee. The pricing extract does not say which plan removes the watermark, so check the page before you plan a production embed.
