Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before upgrading.
Is the free tier really free forever?
Yes. No time limit, no credit card required. You get 3 STL exports total to try the tool properly. After that, upgrade to Pro for unlimited exports.
Is the commercial license really included in Pro?
Yes! Pro ($49/year) and Lifetime ($199) include an unrestricted commercial license. You are free to sell physical 3D printed cutters and clay earrings/jewelry made using CutClay designs on Etsy, Shopify, or at in-person craft markets. No royalties, ever.
How does Pro billing work?
CutClay Pro is billed once a year at $49, about $4 a month. A single earring sale on Etsy ($25–$35) covers half of your yearly subscription. You can cancel anytime with a single click.
What does the cutclay.com tab look like?
Free exports include a small “cutclay.com” brand tab attached to the top edge of the cutter — a rounded nameplate about one-third of the cutter’s width, with raised CutClay letters sitting proud of the tab. Pro removes the tab entirely, giving you a clean cutter you can sell.
Can I sell cutters made with CutClay?
Pro and Lifetime include a commercial license — you can sell physical cutters and products made with your designs. Free is personal use only.
What happens to my designs if I cancel Pro?
Your account stays active on Free tier. You keep your download history and can view all your past designs. Re-downloading requires an active Pro subscription.
Do you offer refunds?
All sales are final. Digital goods are delivered instantly and can’t be “returned.” If you have a genuine issue (duplicate charge, technical failure), contact us and we’ll sort it out.
Can I upgrade from Pro to Lifetime later?
Yes. If you’re already on Pro, you can upgrade to Lifetime for $150 instead of the full $199 — your current Pro year rolls over as credit. Email [email protected] from your Pro account address and we’ll apply the upgrade discount.
Start free. Upgrade when it makes sense.
No pressure, no expiring trials. CutClay works for free indefinitely.
