Canva plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Pro | $18/month | 3 | +$18/month, 3 more features |
| Business | $25/user-month | 2 | +$7/user-month, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Canva in for social media graphics, presentations, marketing materials, documents, video editing. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Canva are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Canva
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $25/user-month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Canva runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Canva Pty Ltd of Sydney, Australia. The full record is on the Canva review.

- Does Canva charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Canva prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Canva against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Canva to make a useful price comparison.
