Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Design Wizard
Thumbnails and video from one cheap plan
Design Wizard edits both images and short videos from templates, which is unusual at ten dollars a month and useful for anybody whose thumbnail and channel trailer want the same treatment. Text, shapes and logos can be laid over video rather than only over stills. The free tier resizes and edits without uploads of your own. Stock media allowances are what separate the paid plans, so somebody bringing their own footage gets less from the upgrade than somebody who is not.
Our note
The free tier is worth taking seriously for stills, and the $9.99 step is really the price of the video features rather than a general upgrade. If your thumbnails are the whole job, test whether Basic covers them before subscribing at all.
Only on this side
- Covers thumbnails & cover art
Figma
Interface design and prototyping in a browser
Figma is where most interface design happens now, and creators arrive at it for brand kits, thumbnails and anything a developer has to build from later. Files live in the browser and several people can be inside one at the same time without anybody emailing a version. The free Starter plan carries unlimited drafts, which covers solo work. Seats are priced by what you actually do in the file.
