Pros and cons

Canva

Pros

  • Free plan includes the full editor, 1.6M+ templates and 5GB of storage
  • Large library of templates and stock assets covering social, presentation, document and video formats
  • AI tools for generation, background removal, resizing and translation sit inside the same editor

  • Apps on web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, plus a public API

Cons

  • AI usage is capped on every plan, with Free limited to about 20 uses per month
  • Pro covers one person only, so teams need Business at $25 per person per month
  • Monthly billing costs more than annual billing ($18 versus $12 for Pro)
  • Less suited to detailed vector illustration or print-production work than dedicated design software

StickersMaker

  • Pay-as-you-go credit packs with no subscription, starting at $5
  • Credits do not expire and failed generations are refunded

  • Web only, with no mobile app or API
