What is the difference between pitchboom.io and Canva?

Canva is a design suite you drive. You choose a template, replace the texts and images, arrange scenes on a timeline, pick music and export. Canva AI can generate short clips, turn images into video and draft designs from a prompt, but you assemble the ad.

pitchboom.io makes the ad for you. It reads your product page, writes the script, proposes a storyboard you can edit for free, then renders voice-over, music and motion design in your colors and fonts. You approve and adjust; you don't lay out frames. See how it works.

When is Canva the better choice?

  • Manual control: you want to move, time and style each element yourself.
  • Templates: you want a ready layout to start from, and the same tool for posts, decks and print.
  • A free plan: Canva Free costs nothing every month; pitchboom's free credits are given once.
  • Price per month: Canva Pro is €12 a month for one person (pricing page, read October 25, 2026); pitchboom starts at €30.
  • Length: Canva exports videos of up to 2 hours on paid plans; pitchboom videos run 6 to 120 seconds.

What does making a 30-second ad look like in each tool?

How do the prices compare?

Canva charges a flat monthly fee for the whole suite: €12 a month for Pro (€110 a year) and €17 a month per person for Pro+, as shown in EUR on its pricing page on October 25, 2026. Its AI tools draw on a shared monthly allowance whose real consumption, Canva notes, depends on the tool and the task.

pitchboom.io charges for the video you make, by the second (Standard 13, Studio 100 credits per second), and shows the estimate before you confirm. Plans: Starter €30 · Pro €99 · Premium €300 per month (excl. VAT). See pricing.

Can you use pitchboom.io and Canva together?

Yes. One way to split the work: keep Canva for static posts and decks, and use pitchboom for the animated ad itself. You can download a pitchboom MP4 and upload it into a Canva design, for example to place it inside a presentation or a social post mockup. Finished examples are in the gallery.

Where Canva is strong

  • Millions of templates and stock assets; video sits next to presentations, social posts, print and documents
  • Full manual control of every element on a timeline, in an editor many people already know
  • A recurring free plan, and a low-priced Pro plan with 4K export and long videos
  • Brand kits, bulk design and resizing for a whole team
  • The Canva AI Connector already works inside ChatGPT and Claude

Which one should you choose?

Choose Canva if…

  • You want to place every element yourself and adjust timing frame by frame.
  • You want to start from a template, or you need many other designs (posts, decks, print) in the same tool.
  • You need a free plan you can keep using every month.
  • Your video is longer than a short ad, or you want 4K on the cheapest paid plan.

Choose pitchboom.io if…

  • You want the script, storyboard, voice-over, music and animation done for you from a product URL or a brief.
  • You want a multi-scene ad rather than single AI clips, with a storyboard to approve before anything renders.
  • You need the same ad in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 3:4, each scene recomposed for the new frame rather than resized by hand.
  • You want a per-second price quoted before you confirm: Standard 13, Studio 100 credits per second.
