Short answer: Meshy’s public pricing shows Pro at $20 with a first-month ~50% off narrative (~$10 on the card this window), and FAQ copy that new users get 50% off their first month on any monthly plan (annual plans: 20% off). That pairs with Meshy’s 3D Agent story — chat → approve 2D concepts → export (including print paths) — where chat can be free and generation actions still spend credits. If your job is one photo → one inspectable accepted GLB before you trust a print or a DCC import, start with a priced draft, not a discounted suite month. On trellis-2.com the Mini pack is $4.99 / 150 credits = one 512³ job (1024³ / 1536³ = 300 / 500 credits). One-time credits never expire; failed jobs return reserved credits; GLB + PBR included. And be clear: trellis-2.com is an independent hosted TRELLIS.2 service — not Microsoft, not the official project site. Structure contrast only; don’t copy Agent sentences. Show the math; don’t dunk.

Two honest use cases
| You are… | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Want chat → concepts → suite features (animation, DCC bridge, Agent) and will use them monthly | Meshy Pro (watch first-month promo vs month 2+) |
| Trying Meshy’s Agent / print-ready path once under a promo | Meshy first-month offer — still run your slicer |
| One photo, one draft GLB, inspect before print | Mini $4.99 |
| First-ever hosted TRELLIS.2 taste test | Mini, then decide |
| Need one retry at 512³ or one step to 1024³ | Starter $12.90 / 300 cr |
No dunking: a first-month discount is a real product shape for people evaluating a monthly 3D suite. An inspect-first forever slot is a real product shape for priced drafts you refuse until the mesh passes QA. Different jobs. Promo month ≠ unit cost of an accepted GLB.
First: what trellis-2.com is (and is not)
- Independent third-party image-to-3D host with its own billing and support ([email protected]).
- Not Microsoft, not affiliated with Microsoft, not the official TRELLIS.2 project site.
- Microsoft publishes open-source TRELLIS.2 weights; this site sells managed generation, GLB + PBR download, and credit packs.
If you need official Microsoft product support, this is the wrong counter. If you need a browser path from one photo to a downloadable GLB with a printed credit cost — then a slicer test after inspection — this is the product under review.

| Output | Credits reserved |
|---|---|
| 512³ | 150 |
| 1024³ | 300 |
| 1536³ | 500 |
| Pack | Price | Credits | Max 512³ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | $4.99 | 150 | 1 |
| Starter | $12.90 | 300 | 2 (or 1×1024³) |
| Pro | $38 | 3,000 | 20 |
| Studio / Scale / … | on-page | larger pools | on-page |
One-time packs never expire. Failed jobs return reserved credits. GLB + PBR included on published packs.
Mini math: $4.99 = one accepted 512³ slot if the job succeeds and you keep the mesh after inspection. A successful-but-ugly result still spends credits — that is why the inspect-first checklist exists before you open a slicer or burn month-2 Meshy credits.
meshy.ai/pricing (first-month narrative)
| Plan (public card this window) | Display | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 monthly credits |
| Pro | $20 sticker · first-month ~$10 | 1,000 monthly credits (up to ~100 assets on-page narrative) |
| Premium / Ultra / Studio | higher cards on-page | larger / shared pools — confirm live |
FAQ on the same page: new users get 50% off their first month on any monthly plan, and 20% off on annual plans. Month 2+ returns to the regular sticker unless you cancel — treat first-month as a promo window, not the steady unit cost. Credits: monthly plan credits reset; permanent / purchased extras follow Meshy’s billing FAQ. Localization may change currency display — no FX invention.
Meshy 3D Agent (structure only — not copied sentences)
Public page shape:
- Describe idea / photo / sketch in chat.
- Approve 2D concepts, then convert to 3D.
- Export for pipeline — games, product viz, or print paths (STL / 3MF / OBJ into named slicers), including a marketed slicer pass-rate figure from Meshy’s internal test.
Treat that pass-rate as Meshy’s internal marketing metric, not your printer’s guarantee. Always run your slicer preview and a small test print. Agent chat may be free on Meshy’s Free plan; generation actions still spend credits — verify exact action costs in-app (not invented here).
First-month discount ≠ cost per accepted GLB
| Path | Cash out today | What you hold after one useful draft |
|---|---|---|
| trellis Mini | $4.99 once | Up to 1×512³ GLB+PBR; leftover N/A (spent or kept forever if unused) |
| Meshy Pro first month | ~$10 (50% off narrative) | 1,000 monthly credits + suite / Agent access; unused monthly credits typically reset |
| Meshy Pro month 2+ | $20 (public sticker) | Same monthly pool shape |
If you only needed one inspected GLB and would cancel after the promo month, Mini answers that without opening a subscription relationship. If you will actually use Agent chat, animation, DCC bridges, and dozens of assets this month, Pro’s first-month price can be the cheaper suite entry — spreadsheet your real asset count, not the sticker alone.
Do not invent Meshy credits-per-Agent-action or “how many accepted GLBs fit in 1,000 credits.” Those depend on model, retries, and in-app meters. Compare purchase shape: forever one-slot pack vs discounted-then-full monthly pool.
Inspect-first checklist (before you trust a print)
A) Input (before you spend 150 credits)
- Single clear subject; readable silhouette.
- Decent lighting on surfaces that will print or show in DCC.
- No tiny-text / logo reliance — fine print rarely survives as geometry.
- Expected back side — camera never saw it ⇒ don’t expect a perfect reverse.
- Start at 512³ for the first draft; save 1024³ / 1536³ for after accept rate is known.
B) Mesh acceptance (before slicer)
- Silhouette — orbit; fused limbs, melted handles, floaters, holes in the back.
- Thin walls — paper-thin parts that will break or Z-fight.
- Manifold / normals — open in Blender or a repair tool; fix non-manifold edges before STL.
- Scale — measure a known real-world edge.
- UV / PBR sanity — only if textures matter for the print or game look.
- Export opens — GLB loads in site viewer and in your DCC.
C) Print / pipeline gate (after GLB accept)
- Convert / export STL or 3MF only after B passes.
- Slice in your slicer — watch overhangs, supports, wall thickness.
- One small resin or FDM test beats three blind regenerations.
- Only then spend another 150 / 300 / 500 on a retry or resolution step-up — or open a Meshy month if you decided you need the Agent suite.
Failures on trellis-2.com: Activity shows the reason; reserved credits return; retry is a new run. Do not treat “job succeeded” as “print-ready.”
FAQ
1. Does Meshy’s first-month ~50% off beat Mini $4.99?
For one inspectable 512³ GLB: Mini is a $4.99 dedicated line item with no month 2. For a full suite month (Agent, animation, multi-format, team features): Pro’s ~$10 first month can be the better suite entry — if you will use those features. Confirm the live Pro card and cancel path before you rely on the promo.
2. Are Agent action credits published as a fixed “per GLB” price?
Not as a single public line item on the feature page. Chat may be free; actions spend credits in-app. Do not invent Agent per-action numbers. Meshy’s 97% slicer pass claim is internal marketing, not an independent benchmark.
3. What does Mini actually buy?
$4.99 / 150 credits = 1×512³. 1024³ = 300 cr, 1536³ = 500 cr. GLB + PBR included. Credits never expire. Failed jobs return reserved credits.
4. Is trellis-2.com Microsoft TRELLIS.2?
No. Independent hosted TRELLIS.2 — not Microsoft, not the official project. Support: [email protected].
5. I already read the Agent vs Mini / print-ready posts — why this one?
Those cover Agent necessity and print-ready marketing. This card is specifically first-month ~50% off vs Mini forever slot — promo math vs inspect-first purchase shape.
CTA
For inspect-first, one 512³ draft: Mini $4.99 / 150 credits. Orbit the GLB. Run the checklist. Slice only after accept. For suite + Agent under a first-month promo, compare Meshy’s live Pro card on meshy.ai/pricing and the Agent page on meshy.ai/features/3d-agent with the same adult energy — no trash talk, and no substitute for your own slicer test.
