Carousel Studio offers two plans: a Free plan to get you started, and a PRO plan (called "Plus") for creators and businesses who need more power. Both plans work inside Canva and give you access to AI-powered carousel generation.
Price: $0 forever
The Free plan is designed for new users who want to try Carousel Studio before committing. You get everything you need to create your first few carousels and explore the app's features.
The Free plan works well for people who are curious about Carousel Studio and want to test it out before upgrading. It's also suitable for anyone who creates carousels occasionally and doesn't need a large monthly credit allotment.
Get Started: Install Carousel Studio for free
Price:
When paid annually, that works out to just $10/month.
The Plus plan is built for creators and businesses who use carousels as a regular part of their content strategy. It unlocks every feature in Carousel Studio and gives you a generous monthly credit budget.
Everything in the Free plan, plus:
The Plus plan is ideal for content creators who post carousels regularly, social media managers producing content for clients, business owners sharing updates and insights, and anyone who wants the best output quality and full creative control.
