What Is The Difference Between Cricut Access And Cricut Design Space?

Cricut Design Space is Cricut’s free online design software that lets you cut with the Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore machines. Design Space is where you create the designs that you then use to cut and put on to your projects. It is 100% free and you do not need Cricut Access to use it. You can create your own designs, buy designs from other websites like Creative Fabrica, or you can use Cricut Access.

Cricut Access is Cricut’s paid subscription plan to their font and image library. It has 100,000+ images, hundreds of fonts, and a continuously growing collection of ready-to-make projects. I couldn’t create the great designs I make without my Cricut Access membership. It’s totally worth it in my opinion, and very affordable with monthly plans as low as $7.99/month.

With Cricut Access, you also get great benefits like:

10% savings on all product purchases on cricut.com, including machines, accessories, materials, and more – including sale items!

10% savings  on premium licensed fonts, images, and ready‑to‑make projects from brands like Disney, Sanrio, Simplicity, and Anna Griffin
