Same goal — a professional brand guidelines document. Radically different approach. Here's what you give up by paying $180/year — and what you get back with ours.

| Account required | ✓ None | ✗ Yes |
| Data privacy | ✓ 100% client-side | ✗ Data uploaded to their servers |
| Watermark | ✓ None | ✗ On free tier (Pro required to remove) |
| Works offline | ✓ Yes | ✗ Requires internet |
| Instant PDF export | ✓ One-click download | Export requires Pro account |

The bottom line
Canva Pro is a great all-in-one design tool — if you use it every month. But for a freelancer who needs a brand guidelines document once or twice a year, $180 is a lot for something you could do for free. Our tool is purpose-built for exactly that: quick, professional, print-ready brand guides with no subscription, no data collection, and no surprises.
