About VistaCreate+

VistaCreate (formerly Crello) is an online design tool with templates for social posts, flyers, videos and animated graphics. It has a free Starter plan and a paid Pro plan, and registered nonprofits can apply for Pro free. It is a good second option if you want a Canva alternative.

Pricing: Starter is free (1 seat, 10 GB storage, 1 brand kit). Pro is US$120 a year (about US$10 a month; monthly billing is dearer) for up to 10 seats with unlimited storage and brand kits. 14-day Pro trial.
