On Sketchfab, a private model is "unlisted", which means it won't appear in searches or public galleries, and it won't be indexed by search engines. However, anyone with the model URL can still view and embed a private model.
If you add a password to your private model, no one can view it without entering the password, even if they know the URL.
Password-protected models do not work in the Sketchfab mobile app, or in the Viewer API. Private (unlisted) models will work normally.
To make a model private:
- Upgrade to a monthly or annual Pro (or above) membership
- On your model page, click the Edit Properties button.
- Click the drop-down under "Who can see?" and choose your desired option.
- Type a password (optional)
- Click Save.
You can also make your model private during upload.
Password-protected models may not use the same password as your Sketchfab account.

If I get the Pro account for 1 month and upload a private model, will it stay private when my account goes back to normal?
EternalEchoesVR - It will stay private, but it will be disabled:

If I get a pro account for a month, upload private models and add them to the store. Would they still be disabled if I went back to the normal account? It says store models are exceptions and not disabled when downgrading, but are private store models a thing?
If models are in the Store, they are not disabled, but Store models cannot be private.
