Price per seat per month. Minimum 2 seats.
Assumptions
- Canva (canva.com/pricing, EUR, read 9 Nov 2026): Business €17 per person per month billed monthly or €170 per person per year (€14.17 a month); Pro is a one-person plan at €12 a month or €110 a year and is not a team product, so the tool models Business. Enterprise is quoted. Canva's page does not say whether VAT is included.
- Adobe Express (adobe.com/express/pricing, Businesses tab, EUR excluding VAT, read 9 Nov 2026): Teams is an annual subscription billed monthly at the regular €6.72 per licence per month, with a 2-seat minimum (a single person pays for 2); the first-year offer of €4.20 is not used, and there is no separate monthly-commitment price, so both billing options show €6.72. The individual Premium plan (€12.39 a month incl. VAT) and Enterprise are not modelled. Adobe Express covers fewer template and stock assets than Canva Business; price the features you actually use.
CSV header mapper
Rename exported Canva Business column headers to suggested Adobe Express Teams column names, for reporting or manual data preparation. Not an official Adobe Express Teams import format. It runs in your browser. Headers are renamed and the values in kept columns stay unchanged; columns that look like passwords or other secrets are removed.
Renamed headers do not make a file import-ready. Check whether and how Adobe Express Teams accepts such data before importing, and create any custom fields there first.
| Canva Business column | Adobe Express Teams column | Field type |
|---|---|---|
| Design Name | Project Name | Suggested |
| Folder | Library | Suggested |
| Owner | Owner | Suggested |
| Last Modified | Modified Date | Suggested |
When moving to Adobe Express Teams makes sense
- The comparison above shows a saving at your own volume, after the switching cost.
- Your team can finish the CSV import and onboarding within the switching budget you entered.
- You have checked that Adobe Express Teams's plan covers the integrations and compliance rules you need.
When staying on Canva Business is the better call
- The one-time migration, re-integration or retraining cost is larger than 12 to 24 months of savings.
- You are inside a multi-year Canva Business contract with early-termination fees.
- Your workflow relies on add-ons or features Adobe Express Teams does not support yet.
How the result changes with volume
Twelve-month totals at half, the same and double the volume you entered above, with the other settings you chose (plan, billing, multiplier, switching and extra costs).
| Volume (Team Members Who Design) | Canva Business | Adobe Express Teams | 12-month difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50% volume (2) | €34/mo | €13.44/mo | -€53 |
| Your volume (4) | €68/mo | €26.88/mo | +€193 |
| 200% volume (8) | €136/mo | €53.76/mo | +€687 |
≈ = above the last published price tier, so the amount is extrapolated.
Questions
How is the total cost of Canva Business and Adobe Express Teams compared?
Each side's monthly cost is multiplied by the months in the horizon, and the one-time switching cost is added to Adobe Express Teams. At the default volume (Team Members Who Design: 4), the model gives about €68 per month for Canva Business and €26.88 per month for Adobe Express Teams.
How do Canva Business CSV headers map to Adobe Express Teams?
The mapper renames Canva Business columns (Design Name, Folder, Owner, Last Modified) to Adobe Express Teams columns (Project Name, Library, Owner, Modified Date) in your browser. Custom fields must exist in Adobe Express Teams before you import.
When should a company stay on Canva Business?
Stay if the one-time switching, integration or contract-exit cost is larger than the savings over the horizon you care about. The calculator shows that case as a negative result.
