Pick Meshy if…
you're a game developer, VFX or AR creator who wants usable 3D assets without modelling from scratch.
These aren't the same kind of tool. Meshy is a dedicated 3D generator: text or images in, textured game-ready models out. Krea is mainly a real-time canvas for image and video models that also lists 3D generation. They only overlap if you want 3D — and there Meshy's plans are measured in assets.
Pick Meshy ($20/mo) if you need 3D models for games, VFX or AR, with API and MCP access from Pro. Pick Krea AI ($9/mo) if 3D is a side interest and most of your work is images and video.

your output is mostly 2D images or video and you'd like 3D available in the same subscription.
Krea lists 3D generation alongside image and video, but its plans are built around image and video models. Meshy's plans are sized in 3D assets — about 100 a month on Pro.
