That said, if you want to use one of its templates that is part of the Pro plan, it’s still pretty affordable and will set you back only $9.99 per month if you opt for the annual subscription. Not only does Canva Pro unlock all the other templates, but it also makes it easier for teams to work together with premium features like a brand kit. 

In addition to the actual templates, there are a number of useful features. For example, if you click on a template it will also give you a number of other TikTok video templates that are similar. Also, you have the ability to filter your search using various criteria like style, color, or theme.
