Pricing
FreemiumBuildbox offers a free plan that provides access to the core drag-and-drop game builder, templates, and basic features — a solid starting point for beginners exploring the platform. Paid plans start at $59.99/month and unlock full feature access including AI Asset Generator, StoryGames AI, in-app purchase integration, ad monetization support, Facebook SDK integration, desktop export, and priority support. Different Buildbox versions (Classic, Buildbox 3, Buildbox 4, Buildbox World) offer varying capability levels, with pricing reflecting the version's feature depth. Educational and enterprise licensing is available through the Buildbox sales team.
FreemiumUnity Personal Edition users can start a 14-day free trial that grants 1,000 AI credits one-time; after the trial, the in-editor assistant converts to a $10/month subscription for 1,000 credits per month, with additional credit bundles purchasable separately if needed. Unity Pro, Enterprise, and Industry subscribers automatically receive assistant access and credits included in their existing paid seats at no extra cost, simply by installing the assistant package and assigning seats in the organization dashboard. The AI Gateway does not consume Unity credits when connecting a third-party AI subscription, and the MCP Server is entirely free with no concurrency limits and requires no AI tools subscription at all, on any tier.

Unity AI Tools

Unity AI Tools Pros & Cons

Pros

  • In-editor assistant is trained specifically on Unity workflows, not a general-purpose model bolted on afterward
  • Project-aware context lets the assistant inspect and act on actual scene objects and components
  • MCP Server and AI Gateway are both free with no concurrency limits, regardless of subscription tier
  • Flexibility to bring your own third-party AI model/subscription instead of relying solely on Unity's system
  • Full user control: undo support, AI-generated asset tagging, and granular permission settings
  • Pro, Enterprise, and Industry subscribers get the assistant bundled into existing seats at no added cost

Cons

  • Still in beta, so features, pricing, and stability are subject to change before general availability
  • Requires Unity 6.0 or newer; the MCP server integration is not backwards compatible with older Unity versions
  • Personal Edition users only get a one-time 1,000-credit trial before needing to pay $10/month, unlike Pro/Enterprise seats where it's bundled in
  • Replaces the previous Unity Muse product, so any workflows, prompts, or assets built around Muse's first-party models will need to be rebuilt
  • As a third-party-model-based system, output quality and behavior depend partly on which underlying AI model a developer chooses via the AI Gateway
