What changes after the demo

4 differences to evaluate

1. Create where your customer work happens

Chirply keeps your design editor and media library alongside customer records and marketing workflows. Create an offer graphic, save it to the library and reuse it in the email or page that brings the customer to your business. Canva also supports direct publishing to supported social channels.

2. Save a finished design to the library

In Chirply, editing a design and exporting it are separate steps. Save to library exports the selected design pages as image files with reusable URLs. Check the finished graphic in its destination before sending an email or publishing a page.

3. Plan the formats your team produces

Chirply Design Studio covers static graphics with PNG export. Inventory presentations, editable video projects, print products and existing templates separately: those specialized formats are outside this editor's scope. Keep the required source files available as you move your everyday marketing graphics into Chirply.

4. Compare the complete cost for your use case

Chirply puts everyday graphics inside the platform that runs your CRM and follow-up. Compare your selected Chirply plan and provider usage with the combined cost of design, CRM and communications tools. Canva has free and paid options, so savings depend on the tools and scope you replace.

Your move to Chirply

Build your first connected workflow

Test one real graphic

Recreate an email header or offer graphic using your own brand assets. Check fonts, dimensions, image quality and export results in both products.

Test the actual publishing destination

Use a draft email, page or social post to check how the finished asset reaches its destination. Include any approval steps and account connections your team needs.

Check what must stay editable

List the presentations, video projects and reusable templates you maintain today. Decide which tool will retain each editable original before changing subscriptions.

Check the commercial terms

Everyone starts with the full platform free for 14 days on Scale. Scale is the only plan with a free trial. A card is required, and you pay nothing today. After your trial, stay on Scale at $97/month or downgrade to any other retail plan. Choose a lower plan in Billing before the trial ends to start there when billing begins, or cancel before then and pay nothing. Connected-provider usage is separate.

Reseller Partner is $297 a month and White-Label Partner is $497 a month. Each one is a complete subscription that includes a Scale-level account, so it replaces a retail plan rather than sitting on top of one. Lower founding rates exist, but only inside a timed window offered shortly after signup — the price on your own Billing screen is the one that applies to you.

Frequently asked

Chirply vs Canva FAQ

Can Chirply replace Canva?

Use Chirply Design Studio for everyday static graphics you can export as PNGs into your media library. Presentations, editable video and print production are outside this editor's scope. Test your required graphic dimensions and export quality before moving your templates.

Can Canva publish social posts directly?

Yes. Canva’s Content Planner supports scheduling and publishing to supported social channels. Availability depends on the plan, channel and connected account; check Canva’s current documentation.

How do Chirply designs reach the media library?

Use Save to library in the Design Studio export dialog. It renders design pages as PNG files and saves them into the workspace media library for reuse. Saving an editable design is a separate action.

Can I bring existing graphics into Chirply?

Yes. Bring exported graphics into Chirply's media library for use in your customer workflows. Check supported file formats and asset permissions, and preserve editable originals where needed.
