How much do design tools cost for 5 editors?
On annual billing, 5 editors cost $60 per month on Sketch, $80 on Figma, about $90 on Framer and $1,250 per year (about $104 per month) on Canva Business. Sketch editing requires the Mac app, and Canva's cheaper Pro plan is one-person only, so a Canva team needs Business.
| Tool | Plan | 5 editors, annual billing | 5 editors, monthly billing | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sketch | Standard | $60/mo | $70/mo | Full editing requires the Mac app; viewers are free |
| Figma | Professional (Full seats) | $80/mo | $100/mo | Seat roles (Full, Dev, Collab, View) are priced differently |
| Framer | Basic | $90/mo | $95/mo | StackScope arithmetic: $10 base plus 4 additional editors at $20 |
| Canva | Business | $1,250/year (about $104/mo) | $25/person/mo | Canva Pro is one-person only; Teams is closed to new sign-ups |
These tools aren't direct substitutes. Figma and Sketch are interface design tools, Framer publishes sites, and Canva is a template-driven design tool, so price should be weighed against what each does.
Free plans differ: Figma's includes 3 team files and unlimited free Viewers, Framer's allows up to 3 editors but has no custom domain or production publishing, Canva's is a one-person plan, and Sketch offers only a 30-day trial.
Figures are published list prices aggregated from vendor pricing pages and independent third-party research as of October 2026. Totals marked as arithmetic are StackScope's multiplication of a listed per-seat price. Confirm current pricing directly with each vendor before purchasing.
