Canva vs Pitch

Canva

• People without design training who build slides from templates
• Teams that make presentations, social posts and video in one tool
• Teachers and students: Canva for Education is free for eligible K-12 users

Pitch

• Sales and marketing teams that send decks as tracked links
• Teams that co-edit slides and assign them to each other
• Small teams: the free plan covers up to 5 members

Canva

• Prices here are in-app purchase amounts from the US App Store listing, which shows several for Canva Pro; prices on Canva's own website may differ.
• Scheduler, Brand Hub, one-click Background Remover and Magic Resize are listed as Canva Pro features, not part of the free account.
• Cloud storage on the free account is 5 GB.
• The download page lists apps for Mac, Windows 10 and later, iOS, Android and Chromebook; no Linux desktop app is listed.

Pitch

• Plus covers a single seat; a workspace with more than one member has to use Team or Business.
• Prices depend on billing country: the US rates here are above the euro, pound and rest-of-world dollar rates of 10, 15 and 20 per seat a month on yearly billing.
• Free-plan AI credits are a one-time 100, and removing Pitch branding from downloads and share links needs a paid plan.
• Advanced links, pitch rooms and workspace roles start at Team; SAML SSO and SCIM are Enterprise only, which needs at least 30 seats.

Canva

Presentation templates

Presentations and slideshows start from professionally designed templates, each of which can be adapted to a brand and style.

Presenter notes

Presenter notes can be written with custom AI prompts and track speaking time for each slide.

Magic design tools

Magic Design builds designs from an uploaded image, Magic Edit swaps or adds objects in a picture, Magic Eraser removes them, and Translate converts a design into more than 100 languages.

AI image and video generation

A text-to-image generator creates pictures from a prompt, and Veo 3 generates video clips with sound from a text description.

Real-time collaboration

Team members can work on the same design at once, share it and collect feedback from wherever they are.

Developer platform

The Canva Developers SDK covers apps that run inside the editor, REST APIs for connecting other platforms, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants create, edit and export designs.

Pitch

Slide editor and templates

Start from a blank canvas, a template or AI-generated slides, then adjust every detail by hand. Paid plans add custom fonts and video uploads.

Live co-editing

Several people edit a deck at once, assign slides to each other and leave comments. Team and Business add admin, creator and commenter roles, and commenters do not take a paid seat.

Advanced links

Share links that track visits, slide views and time spent per slide, and can require a visitor's email or allow PDF download. Team includes 25 and Business is unlimited.

Pitch rooms

A pitch room gathers decks and other resources behind one link and shows how a client engages with them. Team includes 2 shared rooms and Business is unlimited.

AI credits

AI actions that speed up slide creation draw on credits: 100 one-time credits on Free, 500 per seat a month on Plus and Team, and 750 on Business. Extra credits can be bought.

MCP and API

The Pitch MCP connector lets Claude or ChatGPT draft editable, on-brand decks on any plan. The API builds decks from other systems and works with Zapier, Make and HubSpot workflows.
