AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Canva excels in ease of use with a score of 9.4, making it ideal for beginners and small businesses looking for quick design solutions. In contrast, Affinity Photo, while powerful, has a lower ease of use score of 8.6, which may pose a steeper learning curve for new users.
- Reviewers mention that Canva's extensive template library, rated at 9.5, allows users to create professional-looking designs quickly. Affinity Photo, however, is more focused on advanced editing capabilities, which some users find overwhelming without prior design experience.
- G2 users highlight Canva's collaborative features, scoring 9.0, which facilitate teamwork on design projects. In comparison, Affinity Photo lacks robust collaboration tools, making it less suitable for teams that need to work together in real-time.
- Users on G2 appreciate Canva's drag-and-drop editing functionality, rated at 9.2, which simplifies the design process. Affinity Photo, while offering powerful editing tools, does not provide the same level of intuitive interface for quick edits.
- Reviewers mention that Canva's stock image library, rated at 8.6, provides a wide variety of images that can be easily integrated into designs. Affinity Photo, on the other hand, requires users to source their own images, which can be a drawback for those looking for an all-in-one solution.
- Users say that Canva's reporting features, particularly the dashboard and performance tracking, score 9.0, making it easier to analyze design effectiveness. Affinity Photo does not offer similar reporting capabilities, focusing instead on image editing without performance metrics.
