Replace Canva for events.
Event graphics that create themselves.
For organizers spending hours designing event flyers manually
Today, in four tabs
Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.
After
- A public page for every event, and a calendar of all of them Free
- Free RSVP with a capacity limit per date Free
- Tickets with QR check-in and a check-in dashboard Pro
- Newsletters to the people who follow your schedule Free
The gaps
Where Canva limits you for events
Canva was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.
- Manual design work for every event graphic
- Graphics become outdated when event details change
- No connection to your actual event data or ticket sales
- Time spent on design instead of event management
None of that is a fault in Canva. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.

The swap sheet
Canva vs Event Schedule
Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Canva column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Event Schedule column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.
From $0/mo (Pro $5/mo)
| Feature | Canva | Event Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Event graphics | Manual design | Auto-generated |
| AI flyer generation | AI design tools | Event-specific AI |
| Auto-update on changes | Not built in | Yes |
| Ticketing integration | Not built in | Built-in |
| Schedule graphics | Not built in | Yes |
| Newsletters | Not built in | With A/B testing |
| Event pages | Not built in | Yes |
| Platform fees | N/A | Zero |
Free
$0Unlimited events and schedules. Public event pages and a shareable calendar. Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync. Free RSVP with a capacity limit. Embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, AI event parsing, and 10 newsletter emails a month.
Pro
$5 a monthTicketing with QR check-in and the check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, waitlist, promo codes, sales export. Event graphics, the embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.
Enterprise
$15 a monthYour own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.
Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Past Stripe's own processing, the money is yours.

About Canva
Canva is a popular graphic design platform that event organizers use to create flyers, social media posts, and promotional graphics. While Canva offers great design flexibility, creating event graphics manually takes time and requires updating multiple designs whenever event details change.
What it is good at

- Intuitive drag-and-drop design interface
- Broad use beyond events (presentations, social media, etc.)
Why switch to Event Schedule?
Canva makes beautiful designs, but Event Schedule generates event graphics automatically so you can focus on running your events.
What moves across
- AI-generated flyers and graphics created from your event details in seconds
- Graphics always stay in sync when event details change
- Event pages and ticket sales are connected to every graphic
- One platform for graphics, ticketing, newsletters, and calendar sync
Canva to Event Schedule FAQ
What people ask before they move the event work across.
Is Event Schedule a good Canva alternative for event graphics?
Yes. Event Schedule auto-generates shareable event graphics from your event details and also offers AI-powered flyer generation. Graphics update automatically when event details change, so you never have outdated flyers.
Is Event Schedule free for event graphics?
Event graphics generation is included in the Pro plan at $5/month, which also includes ticketing, QR check-in, and more. The free plan includes unlimited events, public event pages, and Google Calendar sync.
How do Event Schedule graphics compare to Canva designs?
Canva offers more design flexibility for general-purpose graphics. Event Schedule graphics are purpose-built for events, automatically pulling in dates, times, locations, and descriptions. They are designed for quick social media sharing and are always in sync with your event data.
Do I need design skills to create event graphics with Event Schedule?
No. Event Schedule generates event graphics automatically from your event details. AI flyer generation creates unique designs with no design input required. You can also customize styles and branding to match your look.
Can I still use Canva alongside Event Schedule?
Of course. Many organizers use Event Schedule for automatic event graphics and Canva for custom brand materials. Event Schedule handles the event-specific graphics so you spend less time in Canva for routine event promotion.
