Free Tier Value
Canva Free is a genuinely usable creator tier, but it is capped at 5GB storage, 1 Brand Kit, and limited AI uses, while the cheapest paid plan (Pro) is about $12/month. Relative to Pro, the free tier keeps a large share of the core editor/content library experience but trims the premium tools and higher quotas; a rough practical value is about 25% of Pro, or around $3/month. The page does not indicate no-credit-card signup, so friction remains nonzero.
