Why look beyond Spline

  • •You need the whole site, not only the scene. VULK writes the React + Vite app around the 3D, with pages, a backend and publishing.
  • •Code export is a paid feature. Spline's code, GLTF and video exports start at Pro, $30 per seat per month.
  • •You want shader effects rather than models. Unicorn Studio is built for shaders, media, 3D and motion, embedded with a runtime of about 50 KB.
  • •You present products in 3D and AR. Vectary focuses on interactive 3D presentations and app-free AR.
  • •You want no subscription. React Three Fiber is an open-source library under the MIT licence.

FAQ

Is Spline free?

Spline has a Free plan. Hobby costs $15, Pro $30 and Max $70 per seat per month, and code export, GLTF with textures, USDZ, STL and video exports start at Pro.

Can Spline build a whole website?

Spline builds 3D scenes that you publish as a link, embed as a viewer or export as code. The pages, text, forms and backend of the site come from another tool.

What is the best Spline alternative for a complete 3D website?

VULK, because it writes the website itself, in React + Vite with Three.js and React Three Fiber, and generates the 3D models it places in the scene.

The verdict

Spline is a mature visual 3D editor for the web, and its AI turns text or an image into a textured model. Pick VULK when the 3D has to live inside a complete website or app, Unicorn Studio for shader effects in an existing site, Vectary for product AR, and React Three Fiber for full control in code. VULK plans are on the pricing page. Pricing
