You can buy Live Home 3D for Mac on the developer's web site, Mac App Store.

Live Home 3D is a free version that has some limitations, such as only one active project at a time, watermark on image and video export, and restrictions on export of 3D models.

The app contains in-app purchases:

• Standard Features in-app (subscription or lifetime license) lifts restrictions on the number of projects, removes watermark on image and video export, and enables export of 3D models.
• Pro Features in-app (subscription or lifetime license) removes all restrictions and adds Pro functionality.

Version purchased on the website does not provide subscription as an option at the moment.

Compare Standard and Pro features.

Live Home 3D Pro for Mac is a paid program that has no limitations and includes all Pro features.

Each platform (Mac, iOS/iPadOS/visionOS, Windows, Android) is still a separate app that must be purchased once on its respective store (Mac App Store / developer's website, App Store, Microsoft Store, Google Play). Starting with version 5.0, you can create a free Live Home 3D account (email registration and verification required) and link your purchases to it—Pro Features, Standard Features, subscriptions and extras packs bought on one platform become available on the others linked to the same account, without buying them again.

With the free version, all projects you create are saved, but only the most recently saved one remains fully editable. Older projects switch to read-only mode: editing is blocked and you can only view them, until you upgrade to Standard or Pro Features. Projects that were previously saved while you had a Standard or Pro license stay fully editable regardless of your current plan.

Live Home 3D has Autosave feature that preserves your current project on relaunch, unless you do one of the following:

• open another project;
• create a new project;
• uninstall the app.

Live Home 3D v5 works on the devices with macOS 13 or higher, is compatible with Tahoe, Apple silicon or Intel processor.

Thanks to the integration with Trimble 3D Warehouse™ and, starting with version 5.0, Sketchfab, it is possible to browse, preview and import 3D models from these on-line libraries directly into your project. Sketchfab requires its own separate free account registration (independent from your Live Home 3D account).

You can also download models from other sources and import them. Live Home 3D can import 3D objects in these formats: 3D Studio (.3ds), Collada (.dae), Google Earth KMZ, Autodesk FBX (.fbx), Wavefront OBJ (.obj), Sweet Home 3D (.sh3d), and, new in version 5.0, glTF / glb (.gltf, .glb).

AI Render is a cloud-based rendering mode: your scene is sent to BeLight's servers and rendered using AI, with a choice of visual style presets. It's available to all users, including the Free version. Every user starts with 10 free render credits; additional credits can be purchased, with pricing listed on the Store page. Your credit balance is shown in the AI Render panel.

There are several options to share a project.

• Sharing with another iOS / iPadOS / visionOS device or Mac: use iCloud Drive to store your project, or use AirDrop if your devices support it.
• Sharing with an iOS / iPadOS / visionOS, Mac, Android or Windows device: use a third party service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

Users of Live Home 3D for Mac can save the project in either Native Bundle (.lh3d) or Zipped Archive (.lhzd) file format.
