Considered Both Products	Marq Helen Siwak President Chose Marq I tried to use Canva as a more affordable option early on but found that the platform didn't really work well with text and creating cohesive design was difficult because of the way the page layouts were.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Marq I think if we had found Canva first we would have probably chosen it as our platform. We had already invested a lot of time and energy into developing multiple templates and branding standards in LucidPress. Incentivized Helpful?	Scribus No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	Marq	Scribus
Likelihood to Recommend	It’s a good platform to provide a hub for locked down template management. If you are needing a service for managing branded assets and users across multiple teams or departments this can be a good fit. However if you are looking for an online design software you may be better served by other platforms Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic

Alternatives Considered	I tried to use Canva as a more affordable option early on but found that the platform didn't really work well with text and creating cohesive design was difficult because of the way the page layouts were. Every page was separate and it wasn't easy to scroll to find errors in margins, font size, and spacing. Incentivized Helen Siwak, EcoLuxLuv Comms President Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	I am able to save over $10K per issue by doing the design and layout myself. I am able to save at least 2-3 weeks per issue by doing the design and layout myself. I don't need to employ a team to compile each issue, I do it all myself. Incentivized Helen Siwak, EcoLuxLuv Comms President Read full review	No answers on this topic
