Full disclosure: I'm an affiliate for both websites, and this post may contain affiliate links. That means that if you follow one of my links and make a purchase, I'll receive a commission at no extra cost to you. However, these are my honest opinions and I hope they are helpful. First let's talk about Creative Fabrica. The way their subscription works is that you pay a set price/month for unlimited downloads. Sounds great! The downside is, the license to use those resources only lasts for as long as you continue to pay for the subscription. If you design something during that timeframe, you can continue to use your design. But after your subscription ends, you are not allowed to create new designs using the resources you've downloaded. This can be complicated to keep track of. If you go this route, my recommendation would be to make a specific folder on your computer labeled "Creative Fabrica Subscription" where you put everything that you download. Then once you stop your subscription, just delete the whole folder. The other thing I'll say about Creative Fabrica's subscription is that I truly think it takes advantage of designers. Designers make very little from the subscription. Once upon a time, designers could choose whether or not to include their products in the subscription. Then one day there was no longer a choice and all products on the site were suddenly included. As a designer, I don't recall being notified of this change. Of course, if designers aren't on board and don't feel it's worth it, they can always remove their products from the site as a whole. This is one of the reasons I've started to remove my products from the marketplace and I'm not planning to add new resources to the site unless something changes. Long term, I do believe Creative Fabrica will have more difficulty hanging onto really good designers because of this. So while the Creative Fabrica subscription may offer unlimited downloads to a great quantity of resources, I don't think the site will have the best selection of quality resources long term. Now let's talk about Design Bundles. It's entirely different than Creative Fabrica. Their subscription is called the Plus Membership. You can choose from three different levels and you get a certain number of "plus credits" per month which can be used in the Plus store. These products are exclusive to the Plus store, and they are owned by Design Bundles. Designers who have contributed their work have been well compensated, which is definitely a plus. Unlike the Creative Fabrica subscription, you have a license to use these resources after you end your membership, which is another plus. At the Bronze tier, plus credits cost $0.79. At the Silver tier, plus credits cost $0.59, and at the Gold tier, they only cost $0.37. Since most plus products only cost 1 credit, you are spending less than a dollar per product regardless of what tier you choose. And again, the license you are buying extends beyond the membership period, which is really great. In addition to credits, you receive a discount on all purchases made through the Design Bundles marketplace. As you can see, these two subscription models are very different. With the Creative Fabrica subscription, you need to consider how much time you have to design each month and whether you'll really be able to get your money's worth out of it. Since you aren't licensed to use the resources after your subscription ends, it's not really such a great deal unless you have lots of time to work on your designs while your subscription lasts. If you are designing full-time, it's probably well worth your money. However, my personal preference is the Design Bundles Plus Membership for two main reasons: 1. I know designers have been well compensated for their work 2. I like that I have a lifetime license to use the resources I buy with my plus credits. Here's a little breakdown of the main points discussed above:
Are there any other questions you have? Feel free to leave me a comment and I'll do my best to answer. After what you've learned here, do you think a subscription is worth it? Which one do you think is better for your situation and why? I'd love to hear your opinions.

Wondering if there’s a way to not lose the licensing with Creative Fabrica. What if we downloaded all the files already? If that’s not enough, what if we upload files into each individual designing file and save it? Guessing you would’ve mentioned these if they would work out. So not really optimistic about your answer 😉

I'm so sorry for the delayed response. If you actually purchased the single sales license, you can use it forever. If you downloaded the items with the subscription, the license only lasts until you cancel your subscription. Sure, you can download all you want. But, you don't have a license to use it after you cancel your subscription. So if there's stuff you really like and use frequently, you could always go back and purchase a single sales license for those items after you end your subscription.

You have literally made my day. I always felt that CF was'nt quit right for me....as compared to DB...Now I'm sure. The lack of use after subscription and cost...given my limited time to design (schedule) I'm gonna make a change. I love Design Bundles...and seem to use it more. Thamks again.

What about the bundles I bought from Creative Farica before I became a member? Can I use those? I bought an $8 bundle and I'll be pretty upset if I can't use it.

Yes, you can still use those. As long as you purchased the single sales license. Here's the single use license information: https://www.creativefabrica.com/single-sales-license/

I wish I had found this earlier. I recently downloaded two svg files from CF both were poorly done. I contacted them but they claimed that they were unable to fix or have the designer fix them. One was and easy fix for me in Design Space, but the other was much more difficult, but I finally figured it out. I was very disappointed that they were offering such poor quality of designs. Apparently, they do not check the designs before they purchase them. I have been thinking about canceling my membership with them for some time. Your article has sealed the deal for me and I will be switching.

Design bundles is way too expensive for the average home user not selling what they make. I only want it to make planner stickers, and the stuff included in "Plus" doesn't include ANY of the more popular illustrators. So I'd end up paying full price anyway, since the discount they give is so minimal. Etsy sales are more beneficial, since Design bundles do markups on the same exact items found on Etsy.

Thanks for this great info. What about the fonts on Creative Fabrica? I don't have a membership but I download all the bundles they email me. Am I also not allowed to use those unless I have a membership?
