Paid plans

Prices listed in November 2026, billed annually: $12 per seat per month removes the watermark from web exports and raises image export resolution. $25 per seat per month adds video export, Apple and Android exports and watermark-free web embeds. $60 per seat per month adds code and self-hosted exports.

Is Spline open source?

No. Spline is a commercial product. Its runtime packages let you embed scenes, but the editor is closed source.

When to choose something else

Spline is strong for 3D scenes. For 2D product UI that needs states, layout and inputs from code, Rive or ExodeUI are closer fits. ExodeUI has a free Community plan and Professional at $5 per month billed yearly; we make ExodeUI.
