Free vs premium: what each tier gives you

Compare free assets, premium packs, and lifetime access before you download or buy.

Free and premium assets use the same account and can both be used in commercial projects. The difference is how you get them and how much of the library your license covers.

Free assets

Free assets cost nothing and need no license key, but you must sign in with a free account to download them. They include the Free Commercial License, which allows personal, educational, open-source, client, and commercial project use.

You may modify and embed a free asset in your work. You may not resell, mirror, share, repackage, or redistribute the asset file or its download access.

Premium assets and packs

Premium assets are sold as part of a pack, not as individual purchases. Buying a pack gives you:

  • the premium assets currently included in that pack;
  • future premium assets added to that pack while it remains part of the first-party library; and
  • the downloadable pack files currently listed for that product.

On a premium asset page, the purchase button takes you to a pack that contains the asset. Free assets inside a pack remain available with a free account.

Lifetime access

The lifetime license is a one-time purchase covering the current first-party premium asset library and future additions covered by the lifetime terms. Separate future products, services, or third-party marketplace items are not included unless the product page explicitly says so.
