Pixal3D alternatives

Pixal3D turns 2D images into 3D meshes with PBR textures and offers multi-view input, scene synthesis, and free, self-hostable use. When comparing alternatives, check the input you start from (single image, multi-view, text, or existing textures), the export formats and PBR output you need, whether you need a hosted API, and your budget, since several options are paid or credit-based.
