Researchers leave FigCanvas mainly over export quality and credits. Free exports are watermarked PNG, so figures are not submission-ready, and credits run at 18 per day for the first 3 days and fewer afterward, which stalls heavy iteration. Pro lifts this to 1,000 monthly credits, which large projects may still exhaust. Sign-in with Google or email is required.
Canva is a general design tool with 3.6M+ templates and print-ready CMYK export; Pro is $144 per person per year, and a free plan exists. It is not described as a scientific-figure tool, so editable SVG output is not stated. ChatGPT is a general assistant for writing, research, analysis and image generation; Plus is $20 per month and a free plan exists, though message caps and usage limits apply. Both are broader and less specialized than FigCanvas.
