Canva: pricing, plans and alternatives
Canva is a browser-based design tool with templates, stock assets and AI features for making social posts, ads, product images, presentations and more. It has a usable free plan, a one-person Pro plan and per-person Business plans for teams. Store owners use it for marketing graphics without a designer.
Pricing page showed yearly prices only: Pro US$144/year for one person (about $12/month); Business US$250 per person per year. Monthly billing exists but its price was not shown; yearly saves from 16%.
Best for
Store owners who need to make ads, social posts and product graphics themselves on a small budget.
Watch out for
Pro is limited to one person; teams need Business, billed per person ($250/person/year), and AI use is capped by plan with extra allowances sold as top-ups.
