How is Simplified different from Canva or other thumbnail makers?
Simplified is an all-in-one creator platform, not just a design tool. Create thumbnails, edit videos, schedule social posts, and track performance—all in one place. Plus, Brandkit is included even on the free plan (Canva charges $12.99/month for this). Best value: $8.33/month for everything vs $10-15/month for just thumbnails elsewhere.
