Affordable entry price for solo marketers and very small teams
Cons
Rigid SmartLayout templates limit creative control and custom element placement
No undo history, according to multiple independent reviews
Entry-level plans cap out at just one or two users before requiring a custom Enterprise quote
Narrower feature set than general-purpose design tools like Canva or Adobe Express
Krita
Pros
Completely free with no subscriptions, watermarks, or feature paywalls
Professional-grade brush engine rivals paid competitors like Photoshop and Procreate
Fully open source under GPL v3 so the code can be audited, modified, and redistributed

Active community and frequent releases funded by a nonprofit foundation
Cons
No built-in cloud collaboration or sync comparable to some commercial apps
Steeper learning curve for beginners compared to simplified apps like Procreate
No official iOS or iPad app, only Android/ChromeOS on mobile
Relies on donations and optional store purchases, so development pace depends on funding
Advanced typography and print-production features lag behind Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop
