How Canva wins against Figma

  • Figma's seat-based pricing remains complex and layered, requiring separate Full ($16–$90/mo), Dev ($12–$35/mo), and Collab ($3–$5/mo) seats plus AI credit add-ons.
  • Figma heavily targets technical software teams and developer handoff, leaving an opening to compete on broad, accessible team-wide creation tools.
  • Figma's advanced features and governance are gated behind high-cost Organization ($55/mo) and Enterprise ($90/mo) tiers.
