Free plan you can actually use
Venngage’s free plan caps you at 5 designs, public-only sharing, and 6 image uploads. Piktochart’s free plan is forever free, includes 60 AI credits each month, gives you access to every template, and keeps collaboration on.
Lighter editor for non-designers
Venngage is a deeper editor built around branded collateral and AI form-style infographics. Piktochart trims the menu to what infographic and report makers actually need, so first drafts ship in an afternoon, not a weekend.

When to choose Venngage over Piktochart
Both Piktochart and Venngage are strong visual design tools, depending on what you need. Here are three scenarios where Venngage could be the better fit:
You need branded marketing collateral with deep brand-kit controls. Venngage’s Business tier puts heavy emphasis on Brand Kits, locked colour palettes, and shared template libraries for marketing teams that want every external piece on-brand. If brand consistency across a high volume of external pieces is the core problem, Venngage handles it well.
You produce form-style and survey-style infographics regularly. Venngage’s templates lean into questionnaires, statistical breakdowns, and form-driven layouts. If most of your output is data-form infographics for reports or whitepapers, Venngage’s library is a natural fit.
You’re an enterprise team with strict admin and security requirements. Venngage’s Enterprise tier ($499/month, minimum 10 seats) includes MFA, dedicated account management, and custom onboarding. If those controls are a procurement requirement, Venngage’s enterprise package is built for it.
If your day-to-day output is broader — internal comms, HR one-pagers, AI-generated visuals, or quick reports — Piktochart’s lighter editor and lower price point usually win.
How to switch from Venngage to Piktochart
Switching design tools is rarely the blocker people fear it will be. Most teams move over in a single afternoon. Five steps:
