- You want the lowest monthly cost and no annual commitment. The tint plan is $720 a year, against $1,788 for DigiCut's annual plan.
- You run a budget USB cutter such as a USCutter, SAGA or Vevor.
- You want to set the exact order pieces are cut in.
Choose DigiCut if
- You need patterns for the widest range of vehicles today, especially for PPF. DigiCut's library is far larger.
- You work on a Mac.
- You want a full month to evaluate before paying.
- You run a Graphtec cutter in its native GP-GL mode, which PPF/Tint Studio does not send yet.
How to decide
Write down the last ten vehicles you tinted or wrapped and look them up in both libraries. If they're all in ours, the lower price is money you keep every month. If several are missing, the bigger library is worth paying for. You can request a free 7-day trial and cut a real job on your own plotter first.
