Canva replaces Free plan AI use count and mentions paid AI add-ons
· Two pages changed · Published
Canva's pricing page no longer lists a set number of Standard or Premium AI uses for the Free plan. It now describes limited access, and a revised footnote says AI add-ons are available at extra cost. The home page swapped a Barbie template promotion for one featuring Pingu designs.

What it could mean
Removing a stated number of free AI uses could make direct comparisons of free AI limits harder. Paid AI add-ons may indicate a move toward usage-based AI pricing, which rival design tools could weigh against their own AI credit models.
