Canva

  • Requires active internet connection, no offline editing capability
  • No vector pen tool or advanced vector editing features
  • No CMYK color management or print-ready bleed controls
  • Cannot export to PSD (Photoshop) or AI (Illustrator) formats

Superblocks

  • Teams plan is limited to just 1 hosted app by default, with additional apps costing $10/app/month.
  • Usage is capped by Governed Agent Units, adding a metering layer beyond a flat per-seat price.
