CanvaAllowed, got worseUS
Canva Pro limited to one person; teams moved to Canva for Teams
Canva Pro stopped covering up to 5 people: it became a one-person plan, and teams had to buy Canva for Teams
What changed
- People on one Canva Pro plan
- Was Before: “for up to 5 people”
- After: One (“Canva Pro is now for solo users”)
- Teams of two or more
- Was Before: Covered by Canva Pro (up to 5 people)
- After: Need Canva for Teams (“our new plan for teams of two or more people”)
- Canva Pro price
- Before: $119.99/year or $12.99/month
- After: $119.99/year or $12.99/month
- Unchanged
What this means for you
One Pro subscription no longer covered a small team. Pro kept its price but became a plan for one person; sharing premium features with even one other person meant a Canva for Teams subscription.
