Who should pick which
Pick Scenario for game studios needing style-consistent assets (Starter: $15/month); think twice if you need general marketing images. Pick Ludo.ai for indie developers researching and prototyping game ideas (Indie: $15/month paid annually); think twice if you only need a single asset type. Pick Meshy for game devs and 3D printers needing quick models (Pro: $20/month); think twice if you need production-grade hand-modelled topology. Pick Layer for game studios producing art, 3D, video and audio at scale with shared styles (Studio subscription: Usage-based; vendor example $60/month). Watch out: cost depends on how much you generate.
