Meshy has a genuinely free plan not a 7-day trial, not a credit-card trap. But "free" comes with specific numbers and specific limits, and knowing them before you sign up saves you from surprises. Here's the complete, honest picture.
100 credits/mo · No credit card · ~5 full 3D models every month, forever
Free users can generate on the latest Meshy 7.1 engine the download restriction that used to apply to the newest model now applies there instead of Meshy 6.
The chat-based 3D Agent is open to Free accounts with no separate fee it runs on the same 100 monthly credits.
Printability analysis remains a free (0-credit) task for every plan, including Free. See 3D printing on Meshy.
Auto-rigging and the 500+ motion library remain free tasks on every plan the single best value in the free tier.
The download cap hasn't moved generate more than 10 models and the extras stay browser-viewable but not downloadable until next month or an upgrade.
Bonus credits from Meshy's reward methods never expire, unlike the monthly 100 that reset on the 1st (UTC).
~5 full 3D models (mesh + texture) at 20 credits each. Resets automatically on the 1st (00:00 UTC).
Converts descriptions into textured models same core engine as paid plans, generating on Meshy 7.1.

Meshy 7 the engine free users generate on
3D Agent free on this plan, no separate fee
New Pro, Premium or Ultra subscribers pay roughly $10 for their first month, automatically no code needed.
First month free, then $5.99/month for up to 12 months with a verified .edu email roughly 70% off.
250 monthly credits at budget pricing in select developing countries, shown automatically by the currency selector.
Full breakdown of every offer: discounts.
Really free a forever-free plan, not a time-limited trial. No credit card is requested, and the 100 monthly credits renew automatically on the 1st of every month (00:00 UTC).
About 5 complete models a month: 100 credits at 20 credits per full generation (mesh + texture).
Yes Meshy's FAQ explicitly welcomes it. Free-plan assets carry a CC BY 4.0 licence: commercial use and sales are allowed as long as you credit Meshy. See commercial use.
That's the free tier's sharpest limit: the newest, highest-fidelity engine (currently Meshy 7.1) will generate for free users, but downloading those specific models requires a paid plan. Free downloads are limited to Meshy 5 output.
No the monthly 100 reset on the 1st of each month and unused ones vanish. Credits earned through Meshy's reward methods are the exception: those are permanent and never expire.
Not a traditional trial, but two things come close: new subscribers get 50% off their first month automatically, and verified students get a much steeper Education Program rate. See all discounts.
Mostly, with one caveat. Five generations on your real use case will show you the workflow, speed and texturing honestly just remember you're generating on the latest engine but downloading Meshy 5 output unless you upgrade.
Yes the 3D Agent chat is open to every plan including Free, with no separate fee. It draws from the same 100 monthly credits as any other generation tool.
100 credits a month, forever enough to see if Meshy fits your workflow before you spend anything.
