About Spline, Inc.

Spline is a web-based 3D design platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The platform allows designers and developers to build interactive 3D scenes, animations, and experiences directly in a browser-based editor without requiring coding knowledge.

Spline's core product includes a real-time collaborative editor, a component and asset library, and export options targeting web embeds, React, iOS, and Android. The platform added AI-assisted features for generating 3D objects and scenes from text prompts. It is used by product designers, web developers, and motion designers to produce 3D UI elements, landing page visuals, and interactive prototypes.

Spline has grown primarily through product-led adoption and a free tier that allows individual designers to publish projects. The company has maintained a relatively small team since its founding. Specific funding amounts and investor details have not been publicly disclosed.

Competitive Landscape

Who Spline, Inc. competes with, and how they differ.

Figma logo
Figma

Figma is a browser-based collaborative design tool focused on 2D UI/UX and prototyping; Spline's Hana canvas competes directly on real-time collaborative vector design, while Spline differentiates with native 3D scene creation and WebGPU rendering that Figma lacks.

R
Rive

Rive is a real-time interactive design tool built around state-machine-driven vector animation and a lightweight runtime for shipping animations inside apps; Spline competes on the same design-once-run-everywhere interactivity model but centers on 3D scenes rather than Rive's 2D vector and state-machine approach.

V
Vectary

Vectary is a browser-based 3D design and product-configurator tool aimed largely at e-commerce and AR use cases; it is Spline's closest like-for-like competitor in no-code, web-native 3D scene creation, though Vectary leans more toward product visualization than Spline's broader interactive-experience and AI-generation focus.

Framer logo
Framer8.1/10

Framer is a browser-based tool for building and publishing production-ready interactive websites; it overlaps with Spline's Hana product for shipping interactive web experiences, but Framer is CMS and publishing-first while Spline is asset and scene-first for embedding into existing sites.

Adobe logo
Adobe7.9/10

Adobe's Substance 3D suite (Stager, Painter, Modeler) serves enterprise 3D content creation for product visualization and film or game production; it competes with Spline at the high end of the market but requires desktop software and steeper technical skill versus Spline's browser-native, code-light workflow.
