Feature and pricing comparison
The short version: Interart 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 — no app needed on any plan, and the Interart app is optional. The free plan renews with 100 scans every month, commercial use is included from $0, and there is never an overage charge or a top-up pack. The one thing Artivive offers that Interart leaves out, on purpose, is a ready-made library of 3D models, images and videos: on Interart you bring your own, made however you like — including with any image or 3D generator.

What Artivive has that we don't
Artivive offers ready-made 3D models, images and videos to drop onto your art. We leave that out on purpose: make exactly the picture or model you want with an image or 3D generator — ChatGPT, Grok, Meshy, Tripo — and upload it, or start from one of our templates.
Where Interart is built differently
Viewers never need an app, on any plan. The scan-to-reveal path is: open link → allow camera → point. That's the whole funnel your audience walks.
Every plan has a monthly scan allowance and nothing to top up. Reach it and your artwork waits for the 1st — or upgrade and it plays again instantly. Nothing you published is removed.
Commercial use is included on every plan, from $0 — an artist-alley seller with 200 printed cards can start on the free plan. Artivive lists its commercial license from the Business plan (about $1,118 a year).
Questions, answered.
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).
For most artists, yes. Interart is faster and simpler: viewers open a link or scan a code and the AR 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 an overage charge. On Artivive, viewers install its app on the Basic and Pro plans, the free plan has 50 views in total, and commercial use is listed from about $1,118 a year (artivive.com, October 2026). Where Artivive has more is a ready-made library of 3D models, images and videos; Interart leaves that out on purpose, because any image or 3D generator makes exactly what you want, and you upload it.
Only on Artivive's WebAR plans: browser-based viewing starts at Pro Plus (about $448 a year), with a limit on how many WebAR artworks one QR code can open (artivive.com, October 2026). On the Basic and Pro plans, viewers install the Artivive app. On Interart, every plan — including free — plays in the browser.
Interart's free plan renews monthly: 3 published designs, 100 scans a month, commercial use allowed, and never an overage charge. Artivive's free plan includes 50 views in total (lifetime, pooled across the account) and a 1 MB memory limit, and a limit message covers the artwork when the views run out (artivive.com, October 2026).
On Artivive, when the account's views run out, a limit message covers the artwork until the artist buys more views or upgrades; their view packs have no public price (artivive.com, October 2026). On Interart, your artwork waits for the 1st, when the allowance renews, and upgrading lifts it instantly — there are no packs to buy and no overage charge.
