Do I Need to Pay to Use a Cricut? The short answer to this is NO. Cricut Design Space is completely free to use. Design Space is Cricut’s software that you will download and use to make all your Cricut crafts. You don’t need to pay to download and use Cricut Design Space. Cricut Access is different than the actual software and this is what people will be talking about when they say they have to pay a subscription to use a Cricut. Cricut Design Space by itself gives you free access to about a thousand images, basic shapes, about 15 Cricut fonts, and a la carte digital purchases. However, you can purchase a standard subscription or premium subscription for under $10/month that gives you Cricut access, or access to everything in Cricut’s library. Hundreds of thousands of images, hundreds of fonts, and thousands of ready to make projects.
