Why artists switch

The four walls people hit

The specific constraints that send artists looking elsewhere, as published on artivive.com in October 2026.

Viewers must install an app

On Artivive's Basic and Pro plans the audience downloads the Artivive app first; browser-based WebAR starts at Pro Plus (about $448 a year). On Interart, every plan — including free — is WebAR: viewers just open a link.

50 views. Lifetime.

Artivive's free plan includes 50 views in total, pooled across the account — and when they're used, a limit message covers the artwork for viewers. Interart's free plan renews with 100 fresh scans every month, shared by all your designs, and Pro brings 10,000.

A commercial license from about $1,118 a year

Artivive lists its commercial license from the Business plan (about $1,118 a year). On Interart, commercial use — selling prints, cards and commissions — is included on every plan, from $0.

More views cost extra

At the cap, Artivive viewers see a limit message until the artist buys more views or upgrades; their view packs have no public price. On Interart there are no packs and no overage charge: your artwork waits for the 1st, or an upgrade lifts the cap instantly.

At a glance

Interart vs Artivive in one table

Interart is a browser-first alternative to Artivive: your audience opens a link or QR code and the AR plays in their phone browser — no app needed on any plan, and the Interart app is there for anyone who wants it. The free plan renews with 100 scans every month, commercial use is included from $0, and there is never an overage charge.

Switching

Moving an artwork takes an afternoon, not a project

  1. 1

    Re-upload the artwork photo

    The same image you gave Artivive works here — the art itself is the tracking marker on both platforms, so printed pieces need no change.

  2. 2

    Rebuild the reveal

    Add your video and layers in the editor, and place them on the artwork, around it or behind it.

  3. 3

    Publish and swap the QR

    Publishing gives a new link and QR code. Replace the code beside the physical work; the AR now opens in the browser with nothing to install.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What’s the catch with Interart’s free plan?

None hidden. There is no card to start, no expiry and no overage charge; commercial use is included, 3D models, audio and the AI tools work on the free plan, and viewers need no app. Its limits are on the price list: 3 published designs, 100 scans a month shared by all of them, videos up to 30 seconds, and an Interart watermark behind the AR — never on the artwork. When the 100 scans are used, your designs rest until the 1st; upgrading brings them back at once, and nothing is deleted. Pro raises the limits to unlimited designs, 10,000 scans a month and a small badge instead of the watermark. Artivive’s free plan, by comparison, has 50 views for the life of the account, needs its app to view, and has no commercial license below Business (artivive.com, October 2026).

What is the best Artivive alternative for artists?

Interart. It is the faster, simpler way to put AR on art: viewers open a link or scan a code and it plays in their phone’s browser, with no app needed on any plan (the Interart app is optional). The free plan renews with 100 scans every month, commercial use is included from $0, and there is never a top-up pack or an overage charge.

Is there a free Artivive alternative?

Yes. Interart's free plan includes 3 published designs and 100 scans a month, renewing every month, with commercial use allowed — no credit card. For comparison, Artivive's free plan includes 50 views in total (lifetime), and a limit message covers the artwork once they are used (artivive.com, October 2026).

Can I move my Artivive artworks to Interart?

There is no automated importer, but a move is quick: you re-upload the artwork photo, re-add your video or layers in the editor, and publish to get a new link and QR code. The printed art itself needs no change, because the artwork is the tracking marker on both platforms.

Do Interart experiences stop working if I hit a limit?

Yes, until the 1st. Every Interart plan comes with a monthly scan allowance; when it is used, your designs rest and visitors see when they will be back. Upgrade and they play again at once. There is never an overage charge or a top-up pack to buy, and nothing you have published is ever removed.
