Canva AI
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Canva AI when you already build social graphics and decks from Canva templates and want cut-outs, Magic Eraser, and AI generation in the same design file, and you accept that higher AI-tool allowances come from Pro, Business, or a stacked AI Pass.
When to skip it Free is 0, but AI generation and advanced AI-tool allowances vary by tier and by AI Pass and this round did not check each tier amount; output is raster, and template and asset licensing has to be checked asset by asset (the page states no full licence scope). For an editable vector source, the closer directory record is Figma AI; for an image API billed per image or per megapixel, the closer record is Flux. This is not a ranked review.
Verified price: Free 0; Pro 11,800; Business 18,800 — CNY / year (per person); Enterprise: Contact us, no amount. (region: China mainland, checked 2026-10-12). Annual prices are not converted to monthly.
Official sourceDALL·E 3
Fact sourceWhen to pick it When an older project still calls the DALL·E 3 model name, open the official API pricing page first and compare it with the current gpt-image line before deciding whether to migrate; this entry does not use another image model figure as its own price.
When to skip it As of 2026-10-12 the official API pricing page lists its image models under the gpt-image line with no DALL·E 3 and no price for it, so integrations that pin the model name have to be checked against what is on sale before migrating; this is not a review of DALL·E 3. For a hosted image API billed per image or per megapixel, the closer directory record is Flux; to generate images through a chat subscription instead of your own API calls, the closer record is ChatGPT. This is not a ranked review.
