A 3D website without an agency: every route, what it costs and the catch

Spline: you design the 3D scene

What you get. A browser-based tool for designing 3D. You build the scene, its materials, lights and animation, without writing code, then publish it as a link, as an embed in a site built elsewhere, or as code. It gives you the scene; the pages around it come from another tool.

Price. Free, with a watermark on what you export to the web. Hobby, the first plan without it, costs $12 a month per seat billed yearly, or $15 month to month; Pro is $25 or $30, Max $60 or $70 (spline.design, 27 September 2026).

Who it suits. Designers who want to shape the 3D themselves and already have a site on Webflow, Framer, Wix or Shopify to put it in.

The catch. A 3D tool to learn, plus a site and its plan. Links and embeds load from Spline’s servers; downloading a code export takes Pro, and a self-contained export is for Enterprise only. In more detail: Promti vs Spline.

PeachWeb: a 3D site builder, or its team

What you get. A no-code builder for WebGL websites, built on Three.js: you pick a theme, edit the scene and the pages, and publish on PeachWeb’s hosting. Its team also builds sites to order.

Price. In dollars, before VAT. Hosting: free with a PeachWeb address, its badge and 2 GB of bandwidth a month; Individual, with your own domain, $29 a month; Basic $69; Pro $179. Builds by its team: $9,000 for a one-pager with a 3D homepage and a contact page, $15,000 for a 3D homepage and five more pages, and from $50,000 for enterprise work (peachweb.io, 27 September 2026).

Who it suits. People who want to make a whole 3D site themselves without code and don’t mind paying for hosting every month; or companies ready to spend $9,000 or more to have one made on the same platform.

The catch. Its terms license the builder only while the agreement lasts and call fees non-refundable unless stated otherwise, while leaving your own content yours. Its pricing page says nothing about taking the site’s files somewhere else.

Vectary: a product in 3D, on your pages

What you get. A platform for showing products in 3D: models, configurators and augmented reality, shared as links or embedded in the site you already have. It doesn’t make the site.

Price. From Spain, before tax: free with five projects and private share links; Starter €25 a month with 25 projects and two seats; Team €250 a month; Business, with the unbranded viewer, API access and augmented reality, on request (vectary.com, 27 September 2026).

Who it suits. Makers of physical products — furniture, bikes, electronics, anything designed in CAD — who want buyers to turn the product, try its colours or see it in their room.

The catch. Every public view counts, the creator’s own included, and if the plan lapses, Vectary locks the workspace and takes its public links and embeds out of service.

rooom: a showroom to walk through

What you get. Virtual 3D spaces (showrooms, trade-fair booths, learning rooms) and 3D product viewers to place on your own site, hosted by rooom in Germany.

Price. In euros, plus VAT: Base €9 a month, with one space, two product viewers, 500 views a month and three visitors at a time; Starter €49 month to month, or down to €25 a month on a 36-month contract paid yearly; Pro €159, or down to €79; Enterprise on request. Starter and Pro have a 14-day free trial (rooom.com, 27 September 2026).

Who it suits. Brands and manufacturers that want a space people can walk around, next to the site they already have.

The catch. It’s a space inside your site, not the site itself. Views each month and visitors at the same time are capped by plan, and the lowest monthly prices come with the longest contracts.

A 3D template from a marketplace

What you get. The code of a ready-made design, often built on three.js, that you or a developer fill with your own content and put online. Website builders sell templates too; Framer’s and Webflow’s are published on those builders.

Price. Each template has its own price on its listing; on Envato’s ThemeForest, in US dollars before tax and handling fees. A builder’s template also needs that builder’s site plan: Promti vs Framer and Promti vs Webflow have the figures.

Who it suits. Anyone who edits HTML and JavaScript, or has someone who does, and has found a design close to what they want.

The catch. On Envato’s standard licences, each purchase covers a single end product. Support there runs for six months from purchase, twelve if you pay to extend it, and covers neither installing the template nor changing it. Many 3D templates show off an effect: the words, the phone version, the legal page and the search setup are still yours to do.

A freelancer

What you get. A developer who builds the 3D site around your product or your place, in code, to your brief.

Price. For a senior freelancer in Spain, developer Adrián Pozo Esteban’s indicative prices go from €2,000–5,000 for a demo with one model and a minimal interface, through €8,000–18,000 when it becomes a configurator with variants and some server work, to over €18,000 for several environments with physics (March 2026). For comparison, Socialmediapymes prices an ordinary corporate site, with no 3D, at €800–2,000 from a freelancer (August 2026).

Who it suits. A business with one clear thing to show in 3D, a few thousand euros, and the time to brief the work and review it.

The catch. Settle in writing who owns the code and the 3D models, how later changes are charged and who keeps the site running; Pozo Esteban has code ownership and asset licences on his own list of questions. He also notes that agencies in Spain’s big cities tend to quote higher.

A specialised studio, the agency route itself

What you get. A site designed and built from nothing around your story, with art direction, 3D, motion and sound, tested on phones.

Price. Metabole Studio’s range for an immersive narrative site, 3D scenes included, is €25,000–60,000, over 10–16 weeks (April 2026). Utsubo’s standard tiers begin at US$20,000–50,000, for a site with one focused 3D moment, and it plans 8–14 weeks for a standard custom site (September 2026).

Who it suits. Brands whose product or story is the 3D itself — a configurator, a walk through a real building, a launch — with the budget and the months that takes.

The catch. The price, and what follows it: to keep an immersive site working as browsers and graphics drivers change, Metabole advises a budget of €200–800 a month.

A kit: Promti

What you get. A finished one-page immersive website for one kind of business — a single product, a place to stay or eat, an app or a studio’s portfolio — that you make yours in a wizard in the browser: your words, colours and pictures, and in Product your own 3D model. You see your own site before paying, then download it as plain files to host wherever you like.

Price. €500 per kit, paid once, taxes included, with step-by-step guides and a 30-minute call with Eric. Cloudflare Pages’ free plan hosts it at no cost; a domain of your own is extra.

Who it suits. Small businesses whose subject matches one of the four kits and who want an immersive site online the same day, with no monthly fee.

The catch. The 3D scene is the kit’s, not designed for you. It’s one page in one language, with no content manager, blog or cart; you host it yourself, and every change is made in the wizard, on the browser that holds your answers.

How to choose

When the 3D is the story and the budget is there: a studio. To design the scene yourself: Spline inside the builder you already use, or PeachWeb for the whole site. For a product to turn, configure or place in a room: Vectary. For a space to walk through: rooom. For one particular look, with someone who codes: a template. For a model built around your own product, with work made to measure: a freelancer. For an immersive page made for your kind of business, today and paid once: a kit.

And sometimes none of them: if the site mostly lists services and takes enquiries, what an immersive website is explains when 3D earns its place and when a plain, fast page does more.

Questions

Can I get a 3D website without an agency?

Yes. You can design it yourself in a no-code tool such as Spline or PeachWeb, add products in 3D with Vectary or a showroom with rooom, adapt a template, hire a freelancer, or buy a kit. A Promti kit costs €500, paid once, and can be online the same day.

What’s the cheapest way to get a 3D website?

In money, a free plan: Spline’s puts a watermark on web exports, and PeachWeb’s free plan uses its own address and badge. Without either, you pay in time plus a monthly plan, or once: a template at its listing price, or a kit, €500 with Promti.

Which routes leave me with the files?

A template does, and a freelancer or a studio should, if the contract says so. Spline lets you download a code export from its Pro plan and a self-contained one on Enterprise. Vectary and rooom serve your 3D from their platforms, and PeachWeb’s pricing page doesn’t mention a download. A Promti kit is a zip of plain files from the first download.

How long does each route take?

With a studio, 10–16 weeks for an immersive narrative site (Metabole), while Webs Barcelona gives 2–4 weeks for an ordinary corporate site of 4–8 pages. With a tool or a template, as long as you take. A Promti kit can be online the same day.

Is Spline enough to make a 3D website?

For the 3D, yes; for the website, no. Spline makes scenes that you publish as a link or put into a site made elsewhere, which brings a plan of its own. PeachWeb makes the whole site, on its hosting. Promti vs Spline compares a finished site with the tool.
