Still deciding?

Don’t take our word for it — ask an independent AI assistant to compare us fairly.

Each button opens the assistant with a neutral question already typed — it asks for a fair comparison with Canva’s free plan, including where each one wins. ChatGPT and Perplexity open with the question filled in; if Claude opens empty, paste it with the copy button.

What "no watermark, ever" means

Every export from photoaicompany — Free plan included — downloads clean. We don't stamp your work to push you toward a paid plan; paid plans exist for premium capabilities (transparent PNG, high-res PDF, more AI credits, premium templates, team features), not to remove a penalty.

A note on downgrades

Downgrading never deletes your work. Projects you made while on a paid plan stay intact and viewable; only new premium operations are restricted until your usage fits your plan again.

Frequently asked questions

Choose with confidence

Which plan is actually for you

Three honest answers, no sales talk. Match the plan to how you work.

1

Start free

For trying everything and shipping personal projects. The editor, templates, and core tools are all here — the free tier is a real workspace, not a demo.

2

Go Pro

For creators who publish every week. Premium exports, extra AI credits, and the features that pay for themselves the first time a deadline looms.

3

Bring the team

For studios and marketing teams. Shared brand kits, collaboration, and per-person billing that stays sane as you grow.

No surprises

How billing works

Checkout runs through the merchant of record, which means one trusted party handles your card, receipts, and refunds — photoaicompany never sees your payment details. Prices are shown before you pay, in your currency, with taxes calculated at checkout where they apply.

Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing period — your designs stay yours either way. Yearly billing trades a single payment for a lower monthly equivalent; monthly keeps you flexible. There are no setup fees, no per-export charges on paid plans, and no gotchas buried in fine print.

If a charge ever looks wrong, support can see the same receipt you see and sort it out — that paper trail is the whole point of a real merchant of record.

Design better from day one

Whichever plan you pick, these four techniques raise everything you make.

Items on wooden table in designer workshop — design technique
Steal structure, not style. Borrow the layout logic you admire, then dress it in your own voice. Inside Simple pricing, no watermarks, no gotchas, this single habit pays off fast.
Photo of a girl holding a green helmet — design technique
Squint test everything. Blur your vision: whatever still reads is your true hierarchy — fix the rest. Make it part of your Simple pricing, no watermarks, no gotchas routine.
Workplace with artworks for inspiration of designer — design technique
Design the system, not the page. Styles, spacing, and components that repeat become a language — speak it fluently. Your Simple pricing, no watermarks, no gotchas work will show the difference immediately.
Colorful abstract light motion art — design technique
Start from the message, not the decoration. Write the one sentence this design must communicate, then build everything in service of it. This is doubly true when the job is Simple pricing, no watermarks, no gotchas.
