As of 21 September 2026. According to Canva, Canva Pro is the plan for individuals, while Canva Business is meant for teams. If you want to use Canva Pro for less, check four things before you buy: which account Pro runs on, who manages it, how long it lasts and what happens afterwards.

Canva Pro, Business and team workspaces

According to Canva, Canva Pro is aimed at individuals who want premium tools and templates. Canva Business is designed for teams and adds higher AI usage limits, brand management and marketing features. The former Canva Teams plan is no longer available for new sign-ups.

Important for team workspaces: according to Canva, designs created in a team workspace belong to that workspace. Anyone removed from a team loses access to the plan and to the designs created there. Personal designs outside the team workspace remain accessible in your own account.

What you receive from Pinclair

  • Twelve months of Canva Pro from setup, for one person.
  • Premium templates, photos, graphics and other design content.
  • Tools for removing backgrounds and resizing designs, plus Brand Kits for your colours, fonts and logos.
  • An additional Pro seat for another person is not included.
  • One-time purchase: it creates no automatic renewal and no further subscription charges from Pinclair.

The applicable Canva Pro feature set applies. Canva may change features, and AI tools may have usage limits. The current price is shown on the product page.

Check your plan after setup

According to Canva, you can see which plan is active on an account in Settings under Payments and plans, in the Billing section. If you have several Canva accounts, for example through different email addresses or Google and Apple sign-ins, check the right account there.

What happens after twelve months

According to Canva, the account becomes a Free plan once the paid period ends. Pro elements in your designs then appear with watermarks on the Free plan. To use premium features again, a paid plan is needed.

When Canva can be free

According to Canva, primary and secondary school teachers, their students and qualified schools receive Canva Education free of charge. If this applies to you, check this route before buying.
