Overview
Meshy's Free plan lets you explore AI-powered 3D generation at no cost. This article covers everything included — credits, downloads, licensing, and what's available exclusively on paid plans.
Credits
Free plan accounts receive 100 credits per month. Credits reset automatically on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC and do not carry over to the next period.
Monthly Download Limit
Free plan accounts get 10 downloads per month for untextured models generated with Meshy 6 Lite. Your downloads reset on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC, the same time as your credits.
The following can't be downloaded on the Free plan:
Models generated with Meshy 6, Meshy 7, or T2.5
Textured models, including a Meshy 6 Lite model after texturing
Textures applied to a model you uploaded
Models created with the 3D Agent
If you click Download and see an upgrade prompt, either the model is in the list above or you've used your 10 downloads for the month. In either case, you'll need to upgrade your subscription to download it.
Credits, including credits from a credit package, are used for generating and don't unlock downloads.
Models from a Past Subscription
Models you generated while on a Pro or higher plan (including Studio and Enterprise) stay downloadable an unlimited number of times, even after you move to the Free plan.
Earning Downloads Through Campaigns
Meshy occasionally runs community and marketing campaigns where Free users can earn permanent downloads for models as prizes. Stay tuned for announcements in our community channels.
Licensing
All models generated on the Free plan are licensed under CC BY 4.0. You may use them commercially, but you must credit Meshy when doing so. For private asset ownership with no attribution requirement, you'll need a paid plan.
Upgrading Your Plan
If you need more credits, downloads, API access, or private licensing, upgrade to a paid plan at any time.
FAQ
1.Can I use models I generate on the Free plan for commercial projects?
Yes, with attribution. All Free plan models are licensed under CC BY 4.0, which allows commercial use as long as you credit Meshy. If you need models without an attribution requirement, you'll need a paid plan.
2.Do unused credits roll over to the next month?
No. Credits reset on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC and unused credits expire. There's no way to carry them over on the Free plan.
3.Why can't I download my model?
On the Free plan, you can download up to 10 untextured Meshy 6 Lite models per month. Models generated with Meshy 6, Meshy 7, or T2.5, textured models, and 3D Agent models need a paid plan. If you see an upgrade prompt when clicking Download, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to access that model. For more help, see Why Can't I Download My Model.
4.Can I access the Meshy API on the Free plan?
No. API access is available on Pro, Premium, Ultra, Studio, and Enterprise plans only. The Free plan is limited to the Meshy web app.
5.I downgraded from a paid plan. Can I still download my old models?
Yes. Models you created while on a Pro or higher plan (including Studio and Enterprise) remain downloadable an unlimited number of times, even after downgrading to Free.
6. How do I know when my credits and downloads reset?
Both reset on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC. You can check your current usage in your account dashboard.
7.I’ve completed the payment, but my account still shows a Free subscription tier. Why is this happening?
Your payment was most likely for a credits package, which doesn't include a subscription. If you'd like to switch to a paid tier, please complete a subscription upgrade on the Pricing page.
