Adobe Express (formerly Adobe Spark) is a creative design tool with Firefly AI built in. Free tier available with limited features; Premium at $9.99/mo includes brand kit, premium templates, and AI tools. It's excellent for social graphics, presentations, and video — and Firefly generates images from text prompts. The brand kit is manual: upload your logo, set colors, pick fonts. BrandSnap generates a complete brand kit in 60 seconds — logo, color palette, font pairing, social templates, email signature, OG images, favicon package, and brand guidelines — for free. Adobe Express wins for creative output and Firefly AI image generation; BrandSnap wins for speed and completeness on brand kit generation.
