Canva Sparks Controversy with Recent Price Increases: Customer Backlash Explained

Many Canva users are feeling a jolt from recent price increases, even as the company highlights new AI features as justification. While Canva has built its reputation as an accessible and cost-effective alternative to traditional design software, the phrase "more affordable" is starting to lose its meaning. Some Canva Teams subscribers are witnessing their annual fees soar from $120 to $500—a staggering 300% jump.

To ease this transition, Canva is offering a 40% discount for the first year, but customers should prepare for the full impact of the price hike in the future. It’s important to note that these increases apply exclusively to Canva Teams accounts, while Pro and Enterprise users remain unaffected.

A company representative explained that some clients had been on older, lower-cost plans that Canva has since discontinued, leading to this price restructuring to "reflect our expanded product experience."
