I found one that I liked, and it cost $.99 since I didn't subscribe to Access-fine, I was happy to pay.
I think I've made one purchase, and that was when I got my Joy and wanted to try cutting a card for the first time. One thing I found a bit annoying in Cricut Design Space was trying to find my purchases. Silhouette has an organized library where you can easily sort your designs. With a subscription, you have access to many of their store designs, but lose access once you unsubscribe. By comparison, Cricut store files can only be used on Cricut machines and it is all web based-no downloading capabilities. I still get the Studio versions to use with the Cameo, but also SVGs that can be used across any machine that accepts that file type, such as Cricut. The designs in their store come in a proprietary format that can only be used with Silhouette Studio, but some designs have the option of upgrading to the more universal SVG format for a slightly higher price, which I find worth it since I own different brands of machines. Even so, if you use store designs a lot, this can save money. Credits can roll over for 60 days, and after that you lose them. Their subscription is based on a credits system so you have a certain amount you can "buy" designs with every month.

Purchases are yours to download and keep. In addition, there is more control over cut settings as well.
Just a few examples of things I've seen in Silhouette that aren't in Cricut Design Space are freehand drawing, ability to edit points, more advanced tracing settings, and the Modify panel (equivalent to Pathfinder in Illustrator-once again, more advanced than Cricut's simpler "slice" and "weld" functions).
#Silhouette studio cricut pro
Browsing through the panels, I see some functions that I use in pro software like Adobe Illustrator. I have yet to go really in-depth with all the features, but just from first impressions, it definitely is more complex than Design Space. And if it sounds like I'm trying to justify my completely spontaneous and large purchase decision-well, that's partly true, too, LOL. I need to be able tailor my designs and instructions to a variety of needs, and to be able to provide help when customer service issues pop up. Since I do cut files as part of my business, it makes sense anyway that I should be familiar with both brands. However, there are many reasons why Cricut's move was a bad idea, and I had a lot to say about it, which you can read in THIS POST.Īs a result of all this, I decided it was time to invest in a rival machine: the Silhouette Cameo 4. I still love my Cricut machines and enjoy using them. I've seen strong opinions regarding this situation from both sides, but customers were overwhelmingly against this move, including myself. If you need to catch up a little, see their statement HERE.
#Silhouette studio cricut free
Cricut has been taking steps to correct what turned out to be an unpopular decision to restrict the free version of their software Design Space. You may also know I've been following the situation at Cricut closely.
If you follow me on social media or read my previous post, you might know that I've bought a new toy! A Silhouette Cameo 4! Pink, of course.
