CatalogProFlow vs Adobe Express
Adobe Express is Adobe's quick design app for graphics, video and social posts. CatalogProFlow focuses on running a small business from one workspace: print designs, catalogs customers order from, invoices with pay links and TV menu boards.
Choose CatalogProFlow if…
- You want templates for menus, shelf tags, door hangers and other things local businesses print.
- You want a catalog customers can order from, made from your product spreadsheet.
- You want invoices and TV screens in the same place as your designs.
Adobe Express may suit you better if…
- You make a lot of video and social content and want to schedule posts.
- You already pay for Acrobat Standard, Pro or Premium, which Adobe says include the Adobe Express Free plan.
- Your K-12 school or district can use Adobe Express for Education, which Adobe says is free for K-12.
