ShapeDiver hosts Grasshopper files in the cloud and turns them into browser-based tools, including 3D product configurators. Teams can share design applications without revealing their original Grasshopper code.

The platform provides APIs and SDKs for custom applications. The Business plan lists TypeScript, Python, and .NET SDKs. Listed integrations include Shopify, WooCommerce, iJewel3D, Speckle, Autodesk Forma, and VIKTOR.ai. ShapeDiver supports over 40 Grasshopper plugins, though plugin access and limits depend on plan. Its security documentation describes SOC 2 Type 2 verification and encryption of account, model, and computation data at rest and in transit. Startup is listed from €199/month with annual billing, and Business from €499/month with annual billing. Enterprise customers can use private server solutions, but on-premises deployment is not offered.
