Adobe Fonts vs SandollCloud

Adobe Fonts is a font library for desktop software and supported web projects. It offers more than 30,000 fonts from over 150 foundries, with catalog access depending on subscription. Users can browse typefaces and add individual styles or full families. The free plan costs nothing and provides a basic library of about 5,500 fonts; Adobe Fonts is also included with eligible Adobe subscriptions. Desktop fonts are added through the Creative Cloud desktop app for macOS and Windows and become available in desktop software. For websites, Web Projects provide controls for styles, weights, language subsets, OpenType features, and font-display settings, with publishing through Adobe’s embed code. Adobe states that its library fonts are licensed for personal and commercial use. Web fonts must use the supplied embed code rather than self-hosting or uploading font files to a website platform. The license does not cover app embedding or server installation. Adding desktop fonts requires a named-user Adobe subscription in Creative Cloud.

SandollCloud is a cloud-based font subscription platform that lets users use fonts without downloading font files. Its library is described as roughly 12,000 fonts in Korean, English, Thai, Chinese, and other languages. The desktop app lets users sync fonts across PCs, activate or deactivate them, and organize favorites into folders. Desktop support is listed for Windows 10 and macOS 10.14 or later, and an iPhone and iPad app is available for mobile use in apps such as KakaoTalk, Goodnotes, and video editors. Compatibility listings include Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Sketch, Microsoft Office, Hancom Office, and Apple iWork; Figma Online requires the font installer. The service needs an internet connection and lists DaVinci Resolve, Silhouette, PhotoScape, and GIMP as incompatible. A Starter Pack offers 200+ fonts free for 14 days, without a payment method or automatic charge, but is limited to non-commercial use. Paid plans start at 11,000 KRW a month.
