Canva’s June 2026 pricing page carries a footnote — “Leonardo.Ai Essential plan features are not available during free trials of Canva Business” — backed by a matching help-center FAQ. During a Business trial, users get only Leonardo’s free-plan features; the bundled Leonardo.Ai Essential tier activates once the trial converts to a paid Canva Business subscription.
