Pricing clarity

A free tier may be available, but useful business features often sit behind paid plans. Check limits, exports, integrations, and team controls.

Digital by Default verdict

Adobe Firefly is worth considering if you need design & creative capability and the core features match a real workflow. Treat it as a medium-effort adoption: shortlist it, compare alternatives, and test it on a small but realistic process before wider rollout.
