## Quick verdict

Design app store — DR 62, free to submit. Worth it for Canva Apps SDK integrations; skip if your product cannot embed in Canva editor workflows.

**Best for:** Creative SaaS building Canva Apps with SDK integrations (AI, assets, data) · Vendors targeting marketers and creators who design inside Canva daily

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Canva app review typically takes 2–4 weeks after SDK integration and listing assets are submitted.
- **Review:** Canva developer review for Apps SDK usage, in-editor UX, security, privacy policy, and listing completeness.
- **Common rejections:** Broken in-editor experience, SDK guideline violations, missing privacy policy, or misleading app capability descriptions.

## Cons

- Canva Apps SDK only — no value for products without in-editor integration
