The second version is an example from Sketchfab’s own website, here.

Features

Their service seems to be aimed primarily at media/content creators. At least they do not support the common .step and .iges file formats.

Supported file formats: .fbx .obj .dae .blend .stl

Private uploads are not allowed unless you pay.

Considering the initialization & options documentation it also looks like a lot of interesting settings are locked behind a paywall, like disabling the UI controls.

some paid only settings

They make this very clear on their license options page.

They have a GitHub organization where they host a lot of plugins for popular CAD software.
