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. Every page was separate and it wasn't easy to scroll to find errors in …
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.
Templafy
Chose Templafy
We went went templafy for the ease of set up, still in our first year but looking to see how it stacks up once we want to integrate with salesforce. We wanted the ability to customize and templafy offered more options than others.

User Testimonials

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

Great use case for TEmplafy is when you have a lot of assets in a system, that you want to be able to slice and dice and export a custom report of what is meaningful to you. They are set up so you can make selections to only surface what you need and feel very well served. It is not ideal, at this time, if you want to look at many separate systems and merge them all. It requires a lot of work to customize and tailor to fit this more curated need

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.
