| Where it stops | The free plan caps you at three collaborative design files and 30 days of version history. | A large share of the templates, photos and fonts are marked Pro, and free brand controls are minimal. | Browsing and generating are free, but saving palettes and the image-extraction tools need an account or Pro. | Box-shadow only — no inset shadows, no text shadows and no coloured light. |
