Pricing & Plans
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.
Free Plan
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.
What's Included
- 20 credits at signup — Enough to create a handful of carousels and see how the app works
- Basic AI model — AI-powered content generation using a standard model
- Basic themes — Access to a selection of pre-designed themes
- Save brand colours — Store your brand colours for quick access in future carousels
- 1 custom theme — Create one personalized theme with your own fonts and colours
Who It's For
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch plans anytime?
Yes. You can upgrade from Free to Plus at any time, and your PRO features activate immediately. You can also cancel your Plus subscription whenever you want — your PRO access continues until the end of your billing period, then your account reverts to the Free plan.
What happens if I cancel?
When you cancel, you keep access to all PRO features until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account moves to the Free plan. Your existing carousels remain accessible in Canva — you don't lose any work.
What are credits?
Credits are the currency used for AI-powered carousel generation. Each slide costs 1 credit, and using AI Images adds 2 credits per generation. Learn how credits work in detail.
Do credits roll over?
No. Credits reset on your billing date each month. Unused credits from the previous month do not carry over.
Is there an annual discount?
Yes. The annual plan costs $120/year, which works out to $10/month — a significant saving compared to the $16/month price.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and process payments securely through Stripe. Your payment information is never stored on our servers.
Can I use Carousel Studio without a Canva Pro subscription?
Yes. Carousel Studio works with any Canva account, including free Canva accounts. You do not need a Canva Pro subscription.

There are no setup costs, no hidden charges, and no surprise fees. The price listed is the price you pay.
