Why creators choose Proofly
Most 3D model marketplaces take 10–60% of every sale you make. Proofly charges creators nothing — you set the price, you keep it all. Buyers pay a small flat service fee on top.

Proofly exclusive
HiddenMark™ — every download is traceable
Every paid download on Proofly is silently watermarked with a unique code embedded directly into the mesh geometry — not in metadata, not in a visible layer. If a buyer shares or leaks the file, you can verify the watermark in seconds and identify exactly who bought it.
Embedded in mesh
The code lives in vertex positions — invisible to the eye, survives mesh edits, re-exports, and format conversions.
Per-buyer unique
Each download gets its own watermark ID. 100 buyers = 100 traceable copies. No shared watermarks.
10-second verify
Upload any suspected leak to proofly.store/hiddenmark/verify — know the buyer's order ID instantly.

No commission. No subscription. No hidden fees. Upload your first model in minutes and get HiddenMark protection on every paid download.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Proofly charge 0% commission?
Proofly's business model charges a small flat service fee (~$1 / ≈4 zł) to buyers rather than taking a percentage of the creator's earnings. This means the platform's revenue scales with volume — not by cutting into what creators earn. You keep every cent of your price.
How do I actually receive my money?
Payouts go directly to your Stripe account via Stripe Connect. A minimum of $12 (≈50 PLN / €11) must accumulate before requesting a manual payout; there are no holding periods beyond Stripe's standard processing (2-7 business days) and no withdrawal fees from Proofly.
Does 0% commission apply to all file types?
Yes — STL, GLB, GLTF, OBJ, 3MF, FBX, and ZIP packages all have the same 0% commission structure. Whether you sell a single STL or a multi-file bundle, you keep 100% of the price.
What if I want to sell for free (free models)?
You can list any model at $0. Free models are distributed without any service fee. Proofly earns nothing from free models — they exist to help creators build an audience.
Are there any hidden fees for creators?
No. Account creation is free. Uploading models is free. There are no monthly subscription fees, no listing fees, and no 'premium tier' required to access marketplace features. The only cost is Stripe's standard payment processing fee when you receive payouts.
