So, let\u2019s take a more detailed look at each aspect of the tool\u2014 starting from pricing to features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-vMBlwh eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pricing-and-plans-a-powerful-free-alternative-to-canva\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_and_Plans%E2%80%94_A_Powerful_Free_Alternative_to_Canva\"><\/span><strong>Pricing and Plans\u2014 A Powerful Free Alternative to Canva<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/qi8Yhj4pKcIec\" position=\"absolute\" width=\"480\" height=\"271\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/money-eastbound-and-down-kenny-powers-qi8Yhj4pKcIec\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-ofQcg9 eplus-wrapper\">Pricing is an extremely important aspect of choosing a tool, so let\u2019s discuss it first. The cost of any resource can make or break your decision-making, so being aware of subscription fees (if any) and all those small add-on costs is important. Is Canva free to use for individuals? Yes, but access to premium photos, design elements, and custom fonts is limited. If you see an amazing icon you want to use in your design, you\u2019ll need to pay to use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-f9ZV7B eplus-wrapper\">Alternatively, Simplified\u2019s free plan has unlimited access to millions of beautiful stock images, icons, and design elements and thousands of fonts and stock videos, at no extra cost. Paying for premium stock photos and icons adds up! So if you\u2019re looking for an all-in-one design tool that includes free design elements, then Simplified might be the one for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-0SPgoA eplus-wrapper\">Another thing to consider when thinking about pricing is collaboration. If you\u2019re using an online design tool to collaborate with team members, the cost of team plans adds up. Canva has only one plan for teams, the Pro Plan, which costs $119 per year for up to 5 members, with the price increasing with the more members you add. Simplified, a brilliant alternative to Canva has two different plans for teams\u2014the Small Teams plan ($12 per member per month) and the Businesses Plan ($24 per member per month)\u2014so you only pay for the team members you need and for the type of team you are. With Simplified, a free alternative to Canva, you get more control over your plan costs and can increase and decrease team members (and therefore costs!) as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"eplus-8KIIDK is-style-regular wp-block-table eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-6a92af\"><table><thead><tr><th><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"color: #fcb900;\">Packages<\/span><\/th><th><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"color: #fcb900;\">Simplified&#8217;s Pricing<\/span><\/th><th><span style=\"color: #fcb900;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Canva Pricing<\/span><\/th><th><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"color: #fcb900;\">What&#8217;s the difference?<\/span><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Free <\/span><\/strong><\/td><td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">$0 Free Forever<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Free<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Canva\u2019s free plan gives you some design elements and templates for free, but you\u2019ll need to pay individually to access premium templates, icons, and more.

You\u2019ll need to decide which features are most important to you and which ones you can live without. For some users, all that matters is an easy-to-use design platform. For others, they\u2019re looking for an all-in-one content marketing tool to help them scale. So let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-ON1DyJ eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-copywriting-generator\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_Copywriting_Generator\"><\/span>AI Copywriting Generator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-3usQWU eplus-wrapper\">You can\u2019t have great marketing campaigns without great copy and this is where Simplified really delivers. Simplified is the world\u2019s first design platform with an <a href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/ai-copywriting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI copywriting<\/a> generator. Get instant, effective copywriting in seconds for every type of marketing campaign you need\u2014from Facebook ads to Social Media quotes. Plus, take it a step further by automatically generating visual creatives using the copy you generated. On the other hand, Canva has no AI copywriting abilities, so if you\u2019re looking for a design tool that can handle all your marketing needs\u2014written and visual\u2014Simplified might be the smartest alternative to Canva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Write A Blog In Less Than 15 Minutes With AI (Artificial Intelligence)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KaknGDNAmyw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-eGKQex eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-templates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Templates\"><\/span>Templates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-H8Llba eplus-wrapper\">Both Simplified and Canva have exceptional templates and you can easily drag and drop elements to create beautiful designs in minutes. Moreover, these templates can help you design anything you want\u2014from Facebook posts to flyers to YouTube covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-rN6E5U eplus-wrapper\">Can you design logos on Canva and Simplified? Yes! Are Canva templates free? Well, that\u2019s complicated. Canva has dozens of free templates for you to use but to access premium templates (with those cool animations you see all over Instagram), you\u2019ll need to pay for the Pro plan. If fresh, unique, and premium templates for your business are important to you, then Simplified is a great alternative to Canva. Moreover, Simplified\u2019s entire template library is free forever and, yes, that includes those Insta-worthy animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-DiZqTl eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-click-editing-tools\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One-Click_Editing_Tools\"><\/span>One-Click Editing Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-tksKZt eplus-wrapper\">In the hyper-fast world of the internet, your content creation needs to be faster. So both Canva and Simplified have instant, one-click editing tools. Simplified\u2019s magic, one-click background remover is free forever, while Canva\u2019s is a paid feature. How do you remove backgrounds from images for free on Simplified? Easy! Just drag in your image and click \u201cRemove Background.\u201d It\u2019s that fast. Can you create animations in Canva and Simplified? Yes! But, Simplified\u2019s one-click text and image animation tool is free for all, while Canva\u2019s is behind a paywall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-i9yDV0 eplus-wrapper\">Creating an animation on Simplified is as simple as highlighting an element and clicking \u201cAnimate.\u201d Then choose from 35+ animation styles to really make your design shine. Furthermore, the fastest editing tool of all is the Image Resizer, which can take one design and reformat it for any platform.

Say goodbye to endless rounds of feedback and confused workflows and get your team on the same page with Simplified\u2019s powerful collaboration tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-PQcCRj eplus-wrapper\">Both Simplified and Canva have real-time commenting, workspace sharing, and project organization tools but Simplified is free for all, no matter what plan you\u2019re on. You can also organize projects, assets, and more in &#8216;folders&#8217; with both Simplified and Canva, so you and your team can always find what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-pMzjq9 eplus-wrapper\">If you\u2019re on a team plan, access multiple Brand Kits, tagging, and sharing with your team is great on both Simplified and Canva. With Simplified, you can have unlimited members on both plans. However, Canva has a membership limit of 3000 team members. Also, on Simplified you can create unlimited workspaces to separate clients, projects, or campaigns as a free user. Canva\u2019s workspace separation is exclusive to the Pro Plan. What&#8217;s more? You can make the approval process faster by assigning roles and customizing sharing settings for free on Simplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-daMlwO eplus-wrapper\">While both Canva and Simplified have collaboration options, Canva is better suited for informal teams, who prefer to do light reviews. Simplified\u2019s collaboration workflows are built for scale and are intended to grow with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-EsbfwI eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-started-how-easy-is-it-to-use-canva-and-simplified\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_How_easy_is_it_to_use_Canva_and_Simplified\"><\/span><strong>Getting Started: How easy is it to use Canva and Simplified?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/xUPGcjQ6dJEjH5uwMw\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/cbc-funny-comedy-xUPGcjQ6dJEjH5uwMw\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-9GrO6d eplus-wrapper\">Finally, is it easy to get started on Canva and Simplified? Yes! Both apps prioritize ease of use but cater to very different users. Canva is great for one-off content creations with its drag and drop editor with a fun and colorful UI\/UX. But when it comes to scaling your marketing and doing deep work, Simplified is the obvious winner. Canva\u2019s user interface can be glaring when you\u2019re staring at a screen for hours, but Simplified\u2019s sophisticated dark mode (with those fun pops of yellow) keep you focused and on task. (Psst.. for those of you that love light mode, you\u2019ll soon be able to toggle between modes on Simplified.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-etZjJB eplus-wrapper\">Both platforms have great navigation that makes it quick to get started with your first design. However, Canva\u2019s photo effects, animations, and background removers are difficult to spot and when you do find them, they require a Pro plan to use. With Simplified, a must-try alternative to Canva, every design feature and effect is accessible right at the top of your screen. Every single feature\u2014 animations, photo effects, resizing, background remover, and more\u2014 is accessible on one screen. Plus, lightning-fast hotkeys make it faster than ever to search for action. Just press Command + K to bring up anything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-cyBtaP eplus-wrapper\">When it comes to help and support, Canva and Simplified both have email support available for all users. But Simplified is the only design app that offers live in-app chat support, so you don\u2019t even need to leave the app to solve a problem. Canva is great for users who need fast designs at a low cost, but Simplified is the easiest choice for users who want to scale their marketing\u2014and want lightning-fast editing tools, AI copywriting, collaboration, and more to do it. Additionally, Simplified is the only marketing tool that brings users all these features for zero cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aligncenter wp-block-ugb-cta ugb-cta ugb-e937ab0 ugb-cta ugb-cta--v2 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-e937ab0 .ugb-button-container{text-align:center !important}.ugb-e937ab0 .ugb-button{background-color:#ffaf40}.ugb-e937ab0 .ugb-button .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-e937ab0 .ugb-button svg:not(.ugb-custom-icon){color:#1e1e1e !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-cta__item\"><h3 class=\"ugb-cta__title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Free_app_to_design_collaborate_and_scale_your_work_%E2%80%93_try_Simplified_today\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">One Free app to design, collaborate, and scale your work &#8211; try Simplified today.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><div class=\"ugb-button-container\"><a class=\"ugb-button ugb-button--size-large\" href=\"https:\/\/app.simplified.com\/design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"\"><span class=\"ugb-button--inner\">Get Started For Free<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As content marketing becomes more important for businesses, you\u2019ve seen many online design apps promising to solve all your problems.
