Free3D:

Operated by TurboSquid, Inc. — paid assets use TurboSquid's Royalty Free License.

Free assets may have individual uploader-set license terms — always verify the specific license on the asset page before commercial use.

Quality varies significantly as models are user-uploaded with no curation standard.

No indemnification — you indemnify Free3D, not the other way around.

Unity Asset Store:

Assets are licensed for use in Unity engine projects only - using them outside Unity may violate the license.

You cannot extract and reuse assets from compiled Unity applications.
