Which Canvy alternative fits your work?

Start with the job you repeat every week, not the longest feature list.

Is Canvy free? Plans and limits

Yes, Canvy has a permanent free plan, and it is more generous than most trials: no time limit and a full image license. The limits are in volume and size. Here is the whole picture from Canvy's pricing page on October 11, 2026:

Seven medium-size downloads a week is roughly 30 a month, enough to try the tool but not to run a shop that lists several prints a week. Plus raises that to 200 full-size images; only Pro removes the cap.

What Canvy does well, from hands-on use

Canvy currently runs two versions side by side: the original app and Canvy 2.0, which you can switch into from the top menu. We made the same mockup, a 120 x 90 cm framed wave painting, in both.

Real size, in centimeters or inches

Canvy takes the artwork's width and height in cm or inches and shows the size label on the wall. The room library can be filtered by artwork size (small, medium, large, extra large), which is a useful shortcut for finding rooms that suit the print.

Frames and walls you can change

The original app has a frame bar with about 20 finishes, a frame width in centimeters, and a mat toggle. Canvy 2.0 adds a wall panel with dozens of paint colors, textures, and wallpapers, so one room can look like several.

Recolor objects in the room

In the original app you can select an object, such as the bed, and change its color. It is a small feature, but it helps when a room is right except for one clashing piece of furniture.

Where Canvy limits you

• Unlimited downloads need the $39-a-month Pro plan.
• Two interfaces for now: some features live in the original app, others in Canvy 2.0.
• No batch workflow listed for generating a whole set of rooms and frames from one upload.
• Much of the value is the website and artwork manager; if you only need listing images, you pay for parts you won't use.

The alternatives, one by one

WallMockup

8.3/10

Best for true-scale listing images and full sets from one upload

You type the print's real width and height, and every room shows it at that size, so an 8x10 looks like an 8x10 next to the furniture. That is the job WallMockup is built around, and it adds the controls print sellers ask for:

For artists	What you control
Frames	54 frames; black, white, wood, metal, gold, floating; Thin, Standard, Bold, or exact width
Mats	Single or double mat; width and color; inner reveal Thin, Standard, or Wide
Frame Match	Three suggested looks per artwork: Best match, Timeless, Statement
Shadow	Angle, depth, intensity, and direction
Rooms	Hundreds of rooms, recommended by size, shape, and color; or upload your own wall
AI custom room	Generates a new room, then places your original file unchanged

For print sellers	What it does
Batch Mockups	One artwork into every room and frame look you pick, up to 60 previews per run
Recipes and saved looks	Reuse the same rooms and frames across a collection
Per-room placement and shadow	Set once, apply to every room in the batch
Export	PNG and JPG up to 4x; WEBP with credits or Pro; a clean-wall download

Price: 7-day free trial without a card, then $5.99 one-time for 100 credits or Pro at $4.99 a month with unlimited exports and 10 AI room credits. Skip it if you need video, AR, a portfolio website, or gallery client tools. It does wall art listing images and nothing else.

What 50 listing images a month cost

The headline price rarely tells you what a working month costs. Here is the cheapest published way to get 50 clean listing images a month from each tool (monthly equivalent, yearly billing where it is cheaper):

Bello is the outlier because it charges per image; for a handful of hero shots it can still be the cheapest.

Canvy vs ArtPlacer

When to stay with Canvy

Stay if you use Canvy's website, if its artwork manager is how you organize your catalog, or if you want room images and short videos from one subscription. Pro's Etsy integration and own-domain site are real advantages that the listing-focused tools here don't try to match. The question is only whether you need them.

How to test an alternative in 20 minutes

1. Pick one finished print and write down its real size.
2. Make the same listing image in Canvy and in the alternative: same artwork, similar room, similar frame.
3. Check whether you can enter the real size, and whether the result looks that size next to the furniture.
4. Export at your normal listing size and compare sharpness and watermarks.
5. Work out what your next 50 images would cost on each plan.

The tool that wins steps 3 to 5 for the way you sell is the right one, whatever its feature list says.
