What it costs

A design suite or a thumbnail studio

Canva Pro costs US$144 per year for one person and covers the whole design suite. Its AI tools draw from a monthly allowance: up to 200 premium AI uses.

Fleekio costs €10 per month and only does thumbnails and their titles. Each image is billed by your provider: about $0.05 to $0.11 per generation in our tests.

You can use both: Canva for everything else, Fleekio for the thumbnail and its title.

Good to know

Before you choose

  • Canva's help center states that, in most cases, subscriptions are not refundable.
  • Canva's AI thumbnail maker can be used on the free plan, with a limited number of AI uses.

Fleekio vs Canva: questions

Is Fleekio a replacement for Canva?

Only for thumbnails. Canva is a full design suite; Fleekio is a thumbnail studio that generates the image with your face and writes the titles that go with it.

Can I finish a Fleekio thumbnail in Canva?

Yes. Download the image and import it into Canva like any other photo.

Do I need an API key?

Yes. Fleekio runs on your own key from OpenAI, Google, Black Forest Labs, fal.ai or Replicate, the 10 free generations included. That is what lets you pay the provider's price, with no markup.

Is Fleekio affiliated with Canva?

No. Canva is a trademark of its owner. This page compares public information, with its sources and date at the bottom.
