Instaform vs Canva Forms

Canva makes forms look pretty. Instaform makes them do something.

Canva Forms is the newest entrant — design-forward, easy to theme, and tightly integrated with Canva's design ecosystem. But it stops at submission. Instaform matches the polish and adds a CRM, automations, and everything you need after someone hits Submit.

At a glance

  • Polish that matches Canva's design bar
  • Native CRM — Canva submissions land in a generic inbox
  • Conditional logic and multi-page

Canva Forms is bundled with Canva Pro. If you already pay for Canva Pro, forms are 'free'. If not, Instaform is cheaper for forms alone. Verified April 2026.

Which should you choose?

It depends on your needs

Already paying for Canva Pro? It's essentially free. Otherwise, Instaform.

If your team already lives in Canva Pro for design, Canva Forms is a no-brainer — you get forms bundled in. If you don't already pay for Canva Pro, Instaform is $19/mo for forms alone and bundles the CRM and automations Canva Forms doesn't have.

Choose Instaform if:

  • · You don't already pay for Canva Pro
  • · You need a CRM for responses
  • · You want conditional logic today

Choose Canva Forms if:

  • · You're already paying for Canva Pro
  • · You don't need a CRM
  • · Your workflow is all in Canva

Frequently asked questions

Yes — Canva supports iframe embeds. Put your Instaform form in a Canva landing page and get the best of both: Canva's design, Instaform's CRM underneath.
