## Three differences that matter

- **How you pay.** Canva's page leads with a yearly price and also lists daily and weekly options. Adobe's Premium and Firefly Pro plans are monthly, with no annual commitment.
- **What the paid plan adds.** Canva Pro adds Brand Kits, Magic Resize and a Background Remover. Adobe Premium adds Remove Video Background, one-click Resize, brand kits, 250 generative credits a month and videos up to 2 hours.
- **AI video.** Canva's Magic Video makes 60-second vertical videos from your clips, and it is included on Free. Adobe has a "Generate AI videos" action. Text to Video sits in Firefly Pro, at INR 1,596.54 a month incl. GST.

## A worked example

Say you need a paid plan for a 3-month festive campaign.

- Adobe Express Premium: INR 398.84 x 3 = INR 1,196.52, then you cancel.
- Canva Pro yearly: INR 4,000 up front, even if you use it for 3 months.

Over 12 months the order flips. Adobe costs INR 398.84 x 12 = INR 4,786.08. Canva costs INR 4,000. Check Canva's daily and weekly options for short bursts.

## FAQ

### Is Adobe Express free?

Yes. The free plan covers standard video tools, videos up to 30 minutes, 5GB of storage and limited generative credits.

### Does Adobe Express caption in Hindi?

A search summary of Adobe's help page says 17 spoken languages including Hindi. We could not open that page on 3 Nov 2026, so test a clip first. Canva lists Hindi on its own help page.

### Which is better for a team?

Canva Business is INR 6,800 a year per person. Adobe Teams adds an admin console and template locking.
