3D model subscription vs pay per model: which is cheaper?
If you need fewer than about three models a month, pay per model. At $3.99 a library model or $2.99 per Forge export, a $9.99 Forge Studio plan breaks even at roughly four exports a month and gives you 30.
Break-even
Forge export $2.99 each: four exports cost $11.96, more than a month of Forge Studio ($9.99), which includes 30. Library models are $3.99 each or any 8 for $19.99 with no subscription.
