Which Tripo models can I use inside PicoBerry?
Tripo is selectable per generation, so you are on the current generation rather than an older model wrapped in a platform. Tripo sits in the same engine dropdown as Meshy and Hunyuan3D, and you can change engine between two generations of the same asset.
Is PicoBerry cheaper than Tripo?
Price isn't the reason to choose it. At entry level the two are roughly comparable; the difference is that one PicoBerry plan covers three engines, image generation, refine, UV and remesh, a bundled API and a free Unity editor. If you only ever generate on a single model at high volume, that vendor can be cheaper per model — but if you want a whole pipeline, PicoBerry does more with the same spend.
Does the Tripo API cost extra if I use PicoBerry instead?
You wouldn't use the Tripo API — you'd use PicoBerry's. Tripo's API is a separate product with its own billing (roughly $1 per 100 credits). PicoBerry's async /v1 API is included on all paid plans and spends the same credits as the web app, so there is one plan, one credit pool and one invoice covering both your artists and your services.
What about concurrency and batch throughput?
This is a genuine advantage for Tripo at its own tiers — Tripo Pro advertises 10 concurrent tasks, and its higher plans scale further for batch work. If you routinely fire large batches at a single vendor, benchmark that before switching; a wider engine choice does not compensate for a narrower queue.
How do the free tiers compare for evaluation?
Both offer a free tier for evaluation, and the practical difference is scope: PicoBerry's lets you run the same prompt across several engines and compare results before paying anyone, while Tripo's is for sampling its own model. PicoBerry's free tier publishes outputs under CC BY 4.0 (public, attribution required), while Tripo's free outputs are public too; private assets and a full commercial license need a paid plan on both.
What happens to commercial rights and model privacy?
Tripo grants private models and commercial use from Pro upward; its free tier outputs are public. PicoBerry grants a full commercial license with private assets on all paid plans; Free plan outputs are published under CC BY 4.0 — usable in commercial work too, but public, non-exclusive and attribution-required. If private, exclusive rights matter, both require a paid plan — check PicoBerry's Terms of Use for the current wording before shipping.
Can I keep using Tripo directly as well?
Yes, and for high-volume Tripo work that can be the right split: Tripo Max for bulk generation on its own models, PicoBerry for the assets that need a different engine, refine steps, or a Unity handoff. Everything exports as GLB, FBX or OBJ from both, so neither locks your assets in.
What does PicoBerry add for a Unity team specifically?
UModeler X, a Unity-native editing tool, is free on every PicoBerry plan including Free, and one-click bridges push assets into Unity, Blender, Unreal and Godot. FBX on the Unity texture preset arrives as a textured bundle with .meta files. Tripo does not bundle a Unity editing tool.
