Canva cuts Pro to $144/year, slashes free AI uses from 200 to 20

Between the Sep 7, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of Canva's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Canva Pro individual plan price dropped from US$180/year to US$144/year for one person, a 20% decrease; AI metering restructured across all tiers: Canva Free's allowance was cut from 'up to 200 Standard AI uses or 20 Premium AI uses' to 'up to 20 Standard or Premium AI uses'. On Pro/Business/Enterprise, Standard AI no longer draws from the metered allowance at all (now full access under fair use). In detail: Pro plan's tool bullet renamed from 'Premium tools (resize, translate, remove background)' to 'AI tools (resize, translate, remove background, and more)', adding a fair-use footnote; AI metering restructured across all tiers: Canva Free's allowance was cut from 'up to 200 Standard AI uses or 20 Premium AI uses' to 'up to 20 Standard or Premium AI uses'. On Pro/Business/Enterprise, Standard AI no longer draws from the metered allowance at all (now full access under fair use), so the 10x/20x multiplier applies to Premium/Ultra AI only. Card section relabelled 'AI allowance' to 'AI usage'. Pulse files it as a pricing change (feature change, package change, price decrease) with a downward direction. The current page lists Pro at $12 and Business at $20.83.

It lands 3 days after Canva's previous change, "Canva Pro drops 20% to $144/year, savings jump past 16%" (Sep 11, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Canva reshuffles AI usage limits, rebrands allowance as usage" (Sep 9, 2026), "Canva: Pro plan price increased $144→$180/year" (Aug 4, 2026) and "Canva: Pro plan annual price increase ($144→$180)" (Jul 28, 2026). Canva has been tracked since 2023-11-17.

In the same window Figma, Visme, Piktochart and Adobe also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
