3DOcean:

Regular License only covers a single end product. Using the same asset in multiple distinct projects requires separate licenses for each.

Assets are sold by individual contributors - quality and support vary. Check ratings and reviews before purchasing.

Sketchfab:

Free models use Creative Commons licenses - each model may have different terms. Always check the specific CC license.

Store purchases include a standard royalty-free license, but models cannot be redistributed as standalone assets.
