Do we need Figma, Canva, or both for our team?

QUICK ANSWER

Start with the output: product interface work, reusable marketing assets, or both. Give each tool a representative brief and test collaboration, editing, approvals, and export. A complementary pair can make sense if the workflows are different and the handoff is clear.

What to do next

Separate the deliverables

List interfaces, presentation slides, social graphics, and brand templates. Identify who creates them and who makes routine edits.

Run a real handoff

Have a creator build an asset and a teammate revise it. Check comments, permissions, shared assets, and the final export.

Set ownership and standards

Assign responsibility for source files, templates, fonts, and approved assets. Confirm which plan includes the controls your team requires.

Before you decide

  • Check dimensions and export formats.
  • Test with a non-designer who will actually edit assets.
  • Include paid assets and extra seats in the cost.
Keep in mind

Do not assume a polished template meets accessibility, licensing, or production requirements.
