Is there a free Canva alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than Canva depends on your volume.

What does Canva cost?

List prices change, so check Canva's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

What is a good Canva alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind Canva's data jobs directly. The providers used here are replicate.

Which Canva features does looot not cover?

Not covered: template library, drag and drop editor, brand kit and team sharing, print and presentation export. Keep Canva for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace Canva with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

Do I need a Canva account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your Canva account. Your existing Canva data stays where it is.

Ask your agent

Paste one prompt to replace Canva

Your agent reads the looot setup file once, then runs the jobs below and shows each price first.

Prompt to replace Canva

Use looot to generate 3 images for the social post idea I give you and return the links. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

Setup
