I recommend doing a search for this topic in both subreddits. They also send free designs all the time! I haven't used any yet, but I like using my own design most of the time. Silhouette has their own version of cricut's store where you can buy designs too, but that's a separate subscription. So depending on how much you use your machine, it can be a really good deal.

It comes with a mat and blade sent to you and a discount whenever you buy off their website too. Shipping was going to be $50, but silhouette club is one month free, then $9.99 a month after.

You can also join silhouette club for free shipping on it too. I had to watch every day for a few weeks for the size I wanted to be available, but I bought it straight from silhouette so they'd take care of it if there was an issue with it. I also liked that the cameo comes in 3 sizes. Definitely download to see how you like the program OP. Our current internet is so shitty that it was a huge hindrance. I like that I can just save my projects on my computer though instead of being forced to upload.

#SILHOUETTE STUDIO VS CRICUT DESIGN SPACE UPGRADE#

I do need to upgrade to silhouette business edition to get more of the functionality I would like. I have a cricut explore air that I wanted to upgrade from. I went with the cameo 4 over the maker as well. which machine is best suited to my needs (if we assume Cricut stick to their word and allow free uploads for life)?

#SILHOUETTE STUDIO VS CRICUT DESIGN SPACE SOFTWARE#

Seeing as I am an experienced and tech-savvy graphic designer who would only be using the cutting machine's software for final print, I'm looking for unbiased advice as to which machine would suit me best? As far as machine build quality, cutting, embossing, engraving, tools, materials, possibilities, etc., are concerned. I'm drawn to the fact that it seems to have very similar capabilities to the Cricut Maker, while having software you can actually run on your own PC (so no risk of a bricked machine should Cricut suddenly shut down their servers or decide to fuck over their customers in the future) The main alternative seems to be the Silhouette Cameo 4, which I've seen recommended a lot even on the Cricut sub recently. Also, by almost all accounts, the design software itself is pretty terrible (especially from the perspective of someone proficient in Illustrator etc.), but this is a non-issue for me as long as I have no issue using my own designs from external design software. Even though they have backtracked on the planned upload limits, I still feel uneasy about the company's morals and being bound to online-only software to even use my machine. While the Cricut Maker seems like an extremely capable machine, the recent controversy around how Design Space works has created major doubts. However, after doing some research both on Reddit and elsewhere, I'm now not so certain. The Cricut Maker was the first machine I heard of and, on paper, it seemed to tick all of the boxes and I was ready and excited to buy it. I recently decided to get a cutting machine for both personal/hobby use as well as potentially using it to expand my graphic design services into bespoke crafts.
