Our take
Pick Adobe Express if marketers who will pay Premium US$9.99/mo — or already have Creative Cloud — not Canva first unless they want the Yearly $144 card. Pick Adobe Firefly if designers already in Photoshop / Express / Creative Cloud who want a browser generate box with Adobe’s commercial terms. Skip Adobe Firefly if people who need a local node graph (ComfyUI) or a Discord Explore grid (Midjourney).
