# What are the best Meshy alternatives?

Stay on Meshy if you need rigging, its animation library or bridges into Blender, Unity and Unreal. If you want to compare 3D models before committing, OTOY Studio runs Meshy alongside Hyper3D Rodin, Hunyuan3D, Trellis, Seed3D and others on one canvas, so you can send one image to several of them and keep the best mesh. It also makes Gaussian splats, which Meshy does not.

## Meshy alternatives compared

Meshy prices: Free, then Pro $20, Premium $40 and Ultra $100 per month. Checked at meshy.ai/pricing, October 20, 2026. In OTOY Studio, Meshy costs 28 to 110 credits (€0.28 to €1.10) per run.

## Choose by what you need

- **Pick the best mesh per image:** [OTOY Studio](https://otoy.studio). One image node feeds Meshy, Rodin and Hunyuan3D at once. See [image to 3D model](https://otoy.studio/answers/image-to-3d-model) and [Meshy vs Rodin vs Hunyuan3D](https://otoy.studio/models/compare/meshy-vs-rodin-vs-hunyuan-3d).
- **Game-ready rigged characters:** Meshy's own app, with auto-rigging and animations.
- **A real object, not a generated one:** scan it with Polycam or KIRI, or make a splat from photos in OTOY Studio. See [how to make a Gaussian splat](https://otoy.studio/answers/how-to-make-a-gaussian-splat).

## What you give up by leaving Meshy's app

- **Rigging and animation.** OTOY Studio does not rig meshes.
- **DCC bridges and the .blend export.** From OTOY Studio you download the file and import it. See [AI assets in Unreal Engine](https://otoy.studio/answers/ai-assets-in-unreal-engine) and [AI video and 3D in Blender](https://otoy.studio/answers/ai-video-and-3d-in-blender).
- **Meshy's 3D Agent** and retries tuned for its own model.
