    Considered Both Products

    Chose Adobe Express
    They both have great ease of use. More recently, Adobe changed something in its interface that created a small but consistently aggravating inconvenience, so Canva may be better in that aspect. The platform for Canva has great UX in my opinion. Adobe Creative Cloud Express …

    Chose Adobe Express
    I started on Adobe Spark / Adobe Express before ever trying Figma nad Canva. I tried them after being told how great the were by colleagues and honestly felt like they were cheesy and less adult. The final product didn't feel as polished and the user experience was lackluster. …

    Chose Adobe Express
    Adobe Creative Cloud Express is easier to use than almost every other graphics program I’ve used. Those that are as simple, or simpler, do not produce creations with as professional and creative looks as Adobe Creative Cloud Express does.

    Chose Adobe Express
    Adobe Express is comparable to Canva but having the whole adobe creative suite package, I prefer Adobe Express as it is more compatible with other programs I use. I do like how you don't have to have a Canva long-in to share a native Canva file to others to edit.
