GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.
Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

“I primarily work on outdoor events and the ability to bring in a satellite image to then create an event site to scale is HUGE!”
AP
Ashley P.
Associate, Signature Events
“Also, I love having the ability to create new diagrams quickly and efficiently for the many events we host. If you've never used smartdraw then I believe the learning curve will be extremely easy, whether you're creating charts or diagrams; you will be able to easily see your creation and changes immediately.”
DG
Danny G.
Operations Coordinator
“The software produces scaled diagrams showing major architectural features (ie: walls, doors, columns) as well as furniture, and measurements”
CL
Cristina L.
Healthcare Specialist
Pros
“For personal use, I enjoy making birthday photo collages for loved ones, cute grocery lists, weekly errand planners, chore lists, and other fun customized designs.”
JR
Jessy R.
Patient Care Coordinator
“What stands out most is its vast library of customizable templates, stock imagery, and brand kit integrations that allow us to produce polished marketing assets in minutes rather than hours.”
ss
samantha s.
Customer Relations
“We use a collaborative account at Stars Vipers Katy, which makes teamwork and sharing designs incredibly convenient. Whether I’m creating graphics, schedules, flyers, social media posts, or branding content, Canva makes the process feel simple, efficient, and creative all at once.”
MH
MaryJane H.
Director Coach
Cons
“User interface could be more streamlined, I constantly have to hit other tabs to use tools/options that I feel should be lumped together (like editing text, all text editing and formatting options should be together, not under separate tabs).”
JH
Jensen H.
Crime scene technician
“I also found navigating between the lbrary and selections a bit of a pain, wish what I use the most would stay in my selections.”
NL
NANCY L.
Owner
“The only thing I had difficulty with was making symbols display at a specific dimension.”
GH
Gerald H.
Owner
Cons
“While Canva excels at quick design turnarounds, its biggest drawback is the lack of precision and depth found in professional design suites like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.”
ss

Customer Relations
“Also, many premium elements, fonts, and stock photos are locked behind the paid Pro subscription, which is a bit expensive for students and small creators.”
RS
Ravindra S.
Owner
“Another downside is that when sharing a paid account or team invite, the invitation link seems to expire pretty quickly (around 24 hours), which can be inconvenient since the account holder has to keep resending new links.”
