A smaller free library of typefaces from a working foundry.
Who it is for
For someone who wants type that has not already been used by ten thousand other sites this year.
The catch
A much smaller catalogue, which is the entire reason to use it.
Where it sits in the stack
Fontshare is filed under “Making the pages themselves good” in the stack directory. Its label there is the same one at the top of this page: listed, not tested. I have read its pricing and mechanics and have not run a project on it, so this page describes it and stops short of recommending it. That distinction is the whole point of the directory.
What has changed about its pricing
Nothing, as far as this site has recorded. Fontshare has no entry in the price change log, which means either its pricing has held since this site started checking or nobody here has re-read it since the figure above was taken. The log distinguishes those two cases deliberately, and a tool with no entry is the weaker of them.
The alternatives in the same slot
These do the same job and sit in the same section of the directory.
- The tools on this site — i run this, has a free tier
- Squoosh — listed, not tested, has a free tier
- Google Fonts — listed, not tested, has a free tier
- UptimeRobot — listed, not tested, has a free tier
The whole stack, filterable, with the catch stated on every entry.
