A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Canva stands out with Drag-and-drop editor and Brand kit. Penpot counters with Open source and self-hostable and SVG-native design.
Canva's Achilles heel: not a real design tool — no vector editing, no prototyping, and exports aren't production-grade for print. Penpot's: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value drag-and-drop editor and não-designers que precisam de, go with Canva. If defensores do open-source que matters more, Penpot is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
