Kapwing's prices are from [its pricing page](https://www.kapwing.com/pricing) and help centre. Canva's are from [its pricing page](https://www.canva.com/pricing/), read in a browser from India (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## Three differences that matter

- **Starting point.** Kapwing starts from video: captions, silence cutting, dubbing. Canva starts from design, with templates for many formats.
- **Currency.** Canva shows rupees. Kapwing lists dollars with no currency code.
- **Seats.** Canva Pro is for one person. Kapwing Pro bills per workspace member and adds a shared workspace.

## What each does well

- **Kapwing:** Trim with Transcript, Repurpose Studio for social clips and Clean Audio.
- **Canva:** Brand Kits, sound effects and stock video and audio. Its pricing page lists 4.7 million+ items on Free and 141 million+ on paid plans.
- **Canva on Pro:** Highlights for AI clipping and Auto-trim.

## Worked example: three people

Say 3 people make your ads for a year.

- Canva Pro: 3 x INR 4,000 = INR 12,000 a year.
- Kapwing Pro, billed yearly: 3 x $16 x 12 = $576.

We do not convert between them. Kapwing Pro adds 4K, exports up to 120 minutes and 1,000 credits a month. Canva Pro adds Magic Resize, Background Remover and premium templates.
