Tripo
the cheapest capable paid tier here — and on the free tier, tripo keeps the model you generated.
the best-value paid plan in the category with a genuinely useful post-process api — and the bluntest free-tier ownership clause of anything here.
the api design is the strength. generation and post-processing are separate stages, so mesh cleanup, texture creation, skeletal setup and motion retargeting can be invoked deliberately rather than bundled — which is how you'd want it in an automated pipeline. four export formats, configurable polygon density, and $13.93 a month makes it the cheapest capable tier here.
the free tier is not a trial of that. tripo's terms state that tripo 'retains all rights ... to outputs ... generated by free users'. models are public, downloads are capped at 15 a month, and there is no commercial use. you are not evaluating the paid product's rights; you are using a different deal.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
