Cricut is changing its plans to require a subscription to get the full use of its crafting machines. The company will postpone the requirement for a subscription and give unlimited uploads to all users with a registered Cricut device purchased before December 31, 2021.
Crafters can create designs in the app or third-party software like procreate. They can then format it to be cut out of materials like paper, fabric, vinyl, and even wood using a Cricut machine.
Owners who did n’t pay would be limited to 20 uploads per month, which many creators worried would make the device unusable.
Arora says people who buy a resold Cricut machine can also get unlimited lifetime uploads. Arora is also considering options for educational or maker space settings that might burn through 20 uploads quickly.
