Canva Teams Price Increase Explained

Ongoing Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

In September 2024 Canva moved Teams from a flat $119.99/year for up to 5 people to per-seat pricing, so some teams faced about $500/year. Teams is now closed to new buyers; existing subscribers keep their pricing, and new teams must buy Business at $25/person/month ($250/year).

Most likely fix: Keep legacy Teams pricing if you have it.

Symptoms

Renewal email showing a much higher Teams price, or Teams no longer available when trying to upgrade.
