MyFonts vs Creative Market
Both sell per-use font licences (Desktop, Webfont, App and more). Creative Market uses one set of EULAs; MyFonts sells fonts from many foundries, each with its own EULA, so always read the one on the font's Licensing tab.

We also tried to compare Fontspring, but its licence pages blocked our automated reader on 22 October 2026, so it isn't included. Creative Market's font EULAs name 'Creative Market Labs, Inc, Fontspring, and its distributors' as licensor.
“Unclear” means the pages we read don't answer the question: check with the rights holder.
The short version
Creative Market's desktop EULA is more accommodating for modern workflows: Canva, logos stated outright, unlimited merch. MyFonts offers far more typefaces, but each foundry's EULA governs, and its standard licences rule out Canva.
