Design: which are worth paying for?
Our verdict on each tool's paid plans, its cheapest paid price and, where we have run it, our own test score. Prices are checked every day on the vendors' own pages; the last check was on Sep 28, 2026.

How to read it
Each tool sits at its cheapest paid monthly price. A score badge marks tools we have tested; the others say "not tested yet", because we never guess a score.
None of these tools has a published test score yet, so this compares prices only. With 3 or more scores this becomes a price-vs-score chart.
Canva AI bills by usage or has no monthly USD price, so it sits in its own slot.

Paying is worth it for teams needing multiple brand kits or collaboration, but solo users may find the free plan sufficient.
