Is Canva free?

Canva has a capable free tier; Pro unlocks brand kits and premium assets.

Is Canva's free plan enough for a small team?

For most social and document work, yes — it is one of the few genuinely broad free tiers here, which is a large part of why it scores well. The ceiling arrives at brand controls and the asset library rather than at basic capability, so the question is when you hit it, not whether.

When should I not reach for Canva?

Advanced photo retouching, and any project that needs fully bespoke design control — it names both. Its listed drawbacks say the same from the other side: less control than professional tools, and a template-heavy look that becomes recognisable once you have seen enough of it.

Why does Canva score 4.4 out of 5 here?

The score is computed, not assigned: 35 of 35 for documented capabilities, 22 of 25 for published pricing, 20 of 20 for free access and 10 of 20 for the integration list. It scores full marks on capabilities, which is rare. The number measures how much you can verify before paying, not how good the tool is to use.
