3D models, priced and ranked

Every 3D model we know of — 48 from 7 companies, 17 of them with a published price per image.

Every price on this page is per image.

Most widely-used 3D models and their cheapest credible alternative

One model per company, ordered by how prominent the company is and how many independent providers serve the model — hosts only carry what customers ask for, so that is measured demand. It is not traffic or usage data, which we do not have. A matched alternative scored within 10 points on our own probe suite; unverified means it is cheaper but we have not measured one or both sides, so no quality claim is made.

None of these alternatives are quality-matched yet — quality is measured on request, so the savings shown are price-only. Each alternative does the same job as the model beside it; that is a hard filter, not a ranking hint.

Newest 3D models

By first-published date. In this market recency is the strongest single signal of relevance, and it is a fact we hold for every model rather than a proxy.

What 3D models actually do

A category is not one market. Comparison on each model page is restricted to models doing the same job, because a price difference between two different jobs is arithmetic rather than advice.

One API for every 3D model here

VernaOne fronts these providers behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Everything we hold in this category, newest first, priced or not. A model with no price is a fact about what its provider publishes, not a gap we hide.

Frequently asked

How many 3D AI models are there?

We track 48 3D models from 7 companies, of which 17 publish a price per image. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs and pricing pages rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.

What is the cheapest 3D model?

Sam 3 (3d objects) from Unattributed at $0.02 per image on fal. Cheapest is not automatically best — check what you get for that price, and compare against the alternatives on the model's own page.

How do you compare 3D models fairly?

Only within one billing unit and one job. Prices here are all per image; a model billed another way is excluded from the rankings rather than converted with an assumption. Alternatives on each model page are further restricted to models that do the same job, so a generator is never presented as an alternative to an upscaler.
