BlenderMarket takes 25% — Proofly takes 0%
BlenderMarket charges creators 25% of every sale. That's one of the highest flat commission rates in the 3D model marketplace space. On a $20 pack at 100 sales, $500 goes to the platform — not to you.
Proofly takes 0% from sellers. The platform earns through a small flat fee paid by the buyer — not a percentage cut from your earnings. Every cent of your model price goes to you, regardless of how many units you sell.

BlenderMarket is Blender-only. Proofly supports every format.
BlenderMarket is purpose-built for the Blender ecosystem — .blend files, Python add-ons, materials for Blender shaders. This is a real strength for Blender-native content. But if you're selling 3D print-ready files (STL, 3MF), real-time assets (GLB), or cross-software models (OBJ, FBX), you're listing on a platform where your buyers are not.
Proofly supports STL, GLB, OBJ, 3MF, FBX, GLTF, and ZIP packages — all with an in-browser WebGL viewer and HiddenMark fingerprinting on every paid download. The buyer audience is specifically searching for these formats across categories: miniatures, architecture, product design, jewelry, and more.
No 3D viewer on BlenderMarket — buyers download blind
BlenderMarket listings show static renders and screenshots. Buyers have no way to inspect the actual mesh before purchasing — they see what you rendered, which may not reflect the print quality, topology complexity, or support requirements.
Proofly embeds a full WebGL 3D viewer on every listing. Buyers rotate the model, zoom in on fine detail, and inspect topology before buying. For 3D print files specifically, this directly reduces disputes and increases buyer confidence.
HiddenMark™ — per-buyer watermarking BlenderMarket doesn't have
BlenderMarket has no piracy-tracing mechanism for your files. If someone shares your pack in a Discord server or a Telegram group, you have no technical way to identify the source — only slow, manual DMCA requests.
Proofly's HiddenMark system embeds a unique steganographic code per buyer into every downloaded mesh — in the geometry itself, not in metadata that gets stripped by slicers and re-exporters. Each code is unique to the specific buyer and purchase.
When a file surfaces on a piracy site, upload it to proofly.store/hiddenmark and identify exactly which buyer it came from — in seconds.
🔐 HiddenMark™
Every Proofly paid download gets a unique watermark embedded in the mesh geometry. Automatic on every sale. No setup required. BlenderMarket files have no equivalent protection.
How HiddenMark works →Use both — they reach different buyers
Proofly doesn't replace BlenderMarket for Blender-native content. Keep your BlenderMarket listings for .blend files and add-ons — that audience is real and specific. Use Proofly for your STL, 3MF, and GLB files where the buyer is a 3D printing enthusiast, not a Blender user.
Cross-listing costs nothing extra: no exclusivity requirement on either platform. You reach two separate audiences, and on the Proofly side, you keep 25% more of every sale.

Can I sell STL and 3MF files on BlenderMarket?
