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 Canva if marketers, teachers, and small teams who live in templates and need an in-page generate box. Skip Canva if product designers who need variables and Dev Mode (Figma AI) or a commercial Firefly workflow inside Photoshop (Adobe Firefly).
