Our take
Pick Adobe Express if you're 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 Noun Project if you're designers who want artist-made icons and will pay to skip attribution. Skip Noun Project if you're a developer who want a code-first outline set (Lucide / Phosphor Icons) or a motion file (LottieFiles).
