Tool	Free plan	Paid-tier capacity constraint	1 editor	5 editors	20 editors	Aggregated sentiment
Figma	Yes — ongoing[VENDOR] Editor cap not cleanly specified; unlimited free Viewers. 3 team files; unlimited personal drafts; 30-day version history; 500 AI credits/month. Missing: unlimited team files, advanced collaboration/admin	Unlimited files and folders on Professional.No paid-tier file cap identified	$16/mo annual[VENDOR] Professional Full seat · $20/mo billed monthly	$80/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Professional Full seat · $100/mo billed monthly	$320/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Professional Full seat · $400/mo billed monthly	PRAISE: real-time collaboration — simultaneous editing and cloud-based teamwork are the most repeated theme. CATCH: seat-role complexity — Full, Dev, Collab, and View seats have materially different capabilities and prices ($3–$90 depending on plan and role); collaborators who need actual design editing require a pricier Full seat, and upgrading someone's access silently upgrades their cost. AI: AI credits now vary by plan — Starter 500/month, Professional 3,000/month per Full seat, Organization 3,500, Enterprise 4,250; Figma changed these add-on package quantities on August 25, 2026 while keeping published add-on prices unchanged ($150 pay-as-you-go or $120 subscription per 5,000 credits, scaling to $300/$240 per 10,000).
Framer	Yes — ongoingUp to 3 editors on a workspace with no active subscription. 10 CMS collections, 1,000 pages, 5MB uploads, 1 free locale, 1GB bandwidth. Missing: custom domain, production publishing	30 pages, 2 CMS collections, 1,000 CMS items, 50GB bandwidth on Basic.Framer prompts an upgrade at most limits; bandwidth can run over for one month before upgrade pressure kicks in	$10/mo annualBasic · $15/mo billed monthly. First editor included in the base site fee	$90/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Basic · $95/mo monthly. First editor is included free; each additional Full Editor is $20/mo: $10 + 4 × $20 = $90 (annual), $15 + 4 × $20 = $95 (monthly). Not a headline price Framer states directly — this report's arithmetic from Framer's own pricing rules	$390/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Basic · $395/mo monthly: $10 + 19 × $20 = $390 (annual), $15 + 19 × $20 = $395 (monthly)	PRAISE: a fast design-to-live-site workflow and an intuitive interface. CATCH: site + seat + usage pricing — the $10 headline price doesn't represent full multi-editor team cost, since additional Full Editors run $20/month each (content editors run $10/month) on top of the base site fee. AI: Free gets a one-time 500-credit allowance; Basic includes 1,000 credits/month, Pro 3,000/month — credits reset monthly and don't roll over. Current vendor material doesn't expose a reliable dollar price for the add-on top-up.
Canva	Yes — ongoingFree is a one-person plan. 5GB storage; limited AI allowance (up to 200 Standard or 20 Premium AI uses in the source used). Missing: premium content/tools, higher AI/storage allowances	100GB storage on Pro; Pro remains one-person only.No separately published Pro storage-overage price identified. Canva Teams is no longer available for new sign-ups or upgrades — existing Teams customers stay on their prior arrangement	$12/mo annual[VENDOR] Pro · $144/year billed annually, $18/mo billed monthly [3P — corroborated]. Some older third-party pages still show a stale $180/year figure — not current	N/A — Pro is one-person only[VENDOR] Team benchmark: Canva Business, $250/year per person billed annually ($20.83/mo annual-equivalent), $25/mo billed monthly [3P — corroborated]. [DERIVED — VENDOR] At 5 people: $1,250/year ($104.17/mo annual-equivalent), $125/mo monthly	N/A — Pro is one-person only[DERIVED — VENDOR] Canva Business at 20 people: $5,000/year ($416.67/mo annual-equivalent), $500/mo monthly	PRAISE: ease of use and an unusually large template/content library. CATCH: premium features and content are gated — major advanced tools and premium assets require paid access, and Pro itself stays a one-person plan regardless of how much you pay, so any real team needs Business, which now runs well above the roughly $20/person figure in earlier reports. AI: included with paid plans; "AI Pass" is a separate paid recurring add-on, but current vendor material doesn't expose a reliable dollar price for it.
