Canva has recently made significant adjustments to its pricing strategy, increasing prices for both the Canva Teams plan and individual users, leading to discontent among long-time users. The price of the Canva Teams five-member plan in the U.S. has increased from $119.99 to $500, while Australia's five-user monthly fee has risen from $39.99 to $13.50 per person. The annual fee for individual users has also increased from $119.99 to $100. New customers are already subject to the new pricing, but longtime users face pricing pressure. Canva explained that the price adjustment was necessary.

Google's star AI model Gemini has launched a significant pricing strategy that dramatically reduces the cost of API usage, cutting costs by nearly 50% compared to its major competitor GPT-4o mini. The input costs for the Gemini 1.5 Flash model have dropped by about 85%, and output costs by about 80%, making it one of the lowest-cost AI services on the market. This price reduction not only lowers the entry barrier but also supports over 100 languages, introduces context caching, and batch processing API optimization services.
