Canva says its AI features are worth the 300 percent price increase (www.theverge.com)

The price of some Canva subscriptions are set to skyrocket next year following the company’s aggressive rollout of generative AI features. Global customers for Canva Teams — a business-orientated subscription that supports adding multiple users — can expect prices to increase by just over 300 percent in some instances. Canva says the increase is justified due to the “expanded product experience” and value that generative AI tools have added to the platform.

In the US, some Canva Teams users are reporting subscription increases from $120 per year for up to five users, to an eye-watering $500 per year. A 40 percent discount will be applied to bring that down to $300 for the first 12 months. In Australia, the flat $39.99 AUS (about $26 USD) per month fee for five users is switching to $13.50 AUS (about $9 USD) for each user. That means a team of five will pay at least 68 percent more, not withstanding any other discounts.

Wait, wait, wait. Canva bought Affinity?!

Sadly, yes. They've promised* to not change the business model of the Affinity Suite however.

*corporate fluff speak that means absolutely nothing and they're not beholden to this statement in any way, shape or form

Also, I seem to remeber that the Affinity CEO made those statements, but Canva are calling the shots now, so...

Yes. They've made positivw noises about pricing, etc, but pretty much everybody in the community fears changes for the worse
