Speed: AI vs Manual Design

Quality & Originality

AI generators create unique vector logos from scratch, while Canva relies on template libraries that thousands of other brands use. Studio24 ensures your logo is one-of-a-kind with commercial rights included.

Customization Depth

Canva offers more granular control over individual elements, fonts, and colors. AI generators excel at rapid iteration—generate 50 variations in minutes, then refine the winner. Best practice: Use AI for ideation, Canva for final polish if needed.

Pricing Comparison

Studio24: Free tier with unlimited generations, commercial rights included. Canva Pro: $12.99/month for template access. For logo creation specifically, Studio24 provides better value.
