Running the business
Snappa opens graphics at the exact size a thumbnail or a header needs, with a royalty-free photo library and a background remover, free for three downloads a month or $10 a month billed yearly for unlimited. Venngage builds infographics, one-pagers and reports from templates, with accessibility checking nothing else in this category offers, free for five designs shared publicly, or the same $10 a month billed annually for unlimited private designs. At the annual rate the two cost exactly the same; the difference is what they are for.

Graphics sized right for each platform
Snappa opens at the dimensions a thumbnail, a story or a header actually needs, which removes the step where somebody guesses and then crops. The stock photos and graphics inside it are royalty-free for commercial work. Three downloads a month on the free plan is the limit, and it is a hard one rather than a watermark.
Only on this side
Infographics without hiring a designer
Venngage is a template library for infographics, one-pagers and reports, with an editor simple enough that the person who has the information can make the graphic. Accessibility checking is built in, which almost nothing else in this category does. The free plan caps you at five designs and shares them publicly, so it is a trial with a different name.
Our note
Venngage is the cheaper way into data-carrying graphics, and the accessibility checker is a real differentiator if anything you make gets published. Visme is the fuller tool once the documents get long.
Pick Snappa for a steady stream of thumbnails and social graphics where speed matters more than data: the free plan's three downloads a month genuinely renews, and Pro at $10 a month billed yearly removes the cap entirely along with a background remover.
Pick Venngage for infographics, reports and one-pagers that carry data, especially if accessibility checking matters for what gets published. Its free plan is a trial by its own admission: five designs, shared publicly only. Premium matches Snappa's price at $10 a month billed annually, or $19 a month without the annual commitment.

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.
