Tool Matchups · Design
Short answer: Canva won this war — templates, team features, and ecosystem. Express only if you're already deep in Adobe.
· Template universe
· Brand kits and team libraries
· Everything-app momentum
· Creative Cloud workflow fit
· Adobe stock/fonts access
· Photoshop-adjacent comfort
Price reality: ignore the sticker — count the tier you'll actually need in six months, plus transaction or per-seat fees. That's where these two usually separate.
Day-to-day friction: the better tool is the one your team opens without sighing. Feature lists don't run your business; habits do.
Room to grow: switching costs are the hidden price. Pick the one whose ceiling you won't hit — moving later costs more than choosing right now.
I pick, set up, and wire the right one into your website as a fixed-scope job — so you're running it this week instead of researching it next month.
