Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Adobe MAX 2026 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe MAX 2026 has 470 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Adobe MAX 2026's written reviews are positive against 33% of Canva Create's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
