A bilingual logo for US$20 a month: editable SVG evidence and remaining gaps
Recraft documents vector editing and SVG export, and its current paid-plan help lists Basic$12 billed monthly or$120 annually; ISO currency, market and the complete task bill remain unconfirmed. Its Studio workflow supports transparent PNG after background removal. Ideogram text layers do not make a whole design an SVG. Firefly Web also documents transparent PNG through Edit image/Remove background, but this task’s editable SVG, applicable plan allowance and full cost remain unestablished. Previously checked US plan prices are dated references, not a new complete-task recommendation.

The task
Spend no more than US$20 with monthly billing on a Chinese-and-English logo for a commercial website, delivering an editable SVG and a transparent PNG. If the wording itself must stay editable text, verify text objects and fonts separately, because a requirement for live text is not part of this brief and outlined lettering is not disqualified on that basis.
Candidates
Meets the documented conditions is not the same as a completed task: it means the conditions listed in the official pages are satisfied, and the limits below still apply.
Recraft Basic
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: The current paid-plan documentation lists Basic at $12 billed monthly with 1,000 credits, or $120 prepaid annually ($10 monthly equivalent). The ISO currency, purchase market and this account’s final bill remain unconfirmed, so this is not a current US$20 budget pass; annual prepayment remains outside the brief.
Vector creation and import, point and curve editing, colour changes and SVG or PDF export are documented. A frame must contain only vector elements and raster content has to be vectorised first, and the vector path does not accept a reference image. Editable paths do not prove the lettering stays editable text.
- Paid plans carry commercial rights for work created while subscribed, while free outputs are public and lack a commercial licence - Recraft Free fails this commercial brief.
- Recraft Studio documents removing the background and exporting PNG with transparency. The exact allowance for that workflow on Basic and preservation of bilingual editable text objects remain unverified.
Ideogram Plus
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: The current Plus page shows $20 beside an annual equivalent of $15 a month with $180 billed yearly, and now lists 2, 400 priority credits a month. The annual amount is not monthly billing. The extracted page does not independently confirm the shopper’s currency, market or monthly checkout, so the display is not a verified US$20 purchase.
The Layerize Text beta extracts editable text layers, with failures on curved or complex lettering, which does not establish an editable SVG export of the whole design. No whole-design SVG evidence was found here, which is not a claim that it will never exist.
- Hosted generation permits commercial use under the terms, and Plus offers private generation, but the complete transparent-PNG workflow was not verified.
- A web subscription is not a commercial self-hosting licence for the open weights.
Adobe Firefly
Unconfirmed; not recommended yetThis month: A page body read on 2 November displayed Standard US$9.99/mo and Pro US$19.99/mo as Monthly; an earlier separate rendering showed EUR with market unknown. The shopper region, applicable tax and actual US checkout were not tested, so the task budget remains unconfirmed.
Firefly includes image and vector generation, but which web or Creative Cloud surface, on which plan, exports the required editable SVG was not established. Do not assume a Firefly subscription includes Illustrator or every Creative Cloud app.
- Firefly Web’s Edit image → Remove background workflow saves a transparent PNG when downloaded immediately after removal. This task’s applicable plan allowance and cost remain unverified.
- Adobe models, partner models and qualified enterprise indemnity have different scopes, and third-party or beta and trial features are not automatically covered.
Practical route
Check Recraft’s editable-shape route and whether the chosen Basic plan includes the required transparent PNG export before paying. Ideogram text layers can help change wording, but without further SVG evidence they are not the same deliverable. Combining subscriptions requires current monthly prices in the same currency and market and a complete total within US$20; the earlier $32 combination used older price references and is not a current verified quote. Annual equivalents cannot be used to force the combination inside the cap.
Delivery checks
Open the SVG in a vector editor and inspect whether it holds real paths or text rather than one embedded PNG. Check the alpha channel, dimensions and spelling in the PNG. No sample was generated and inspected here, so one-shot completion is not promised, and a commercial licence does not guarantee uniqueness, trademark registration or freedom from third-party rights.
Where every claim comes from
Each link was opened and read on the date shown. The note describes what that page actually supports.
- Recraft - plans and rights ↗
The pricing-page FAQ distinguishes free and paid ownership and commercial rights; its plan-price cards were not readable in this response.
- Recraft - paid plans ↗
The individual Basic plan is shown as $12 billed monthly with1,000credits, or $120 prepaid annually with a $10 monthly equivalent. The exposed body does not name anISOcurrency or eligible purchase market. Historical registered scope read on 2026-09-23, not rechecked in full on 2026-10-15: Monthly and annual billing, and that the annual figure is a prepayment.
- Recraft - vector editor and SVG rules ↗
The Vector Editor edits points, curves and colours, accepts imported SVGs and exports SVG/PDF. Reference images are unavailable for Vector generation. A frame must contain only vectors; raster elements must be vectorized first. Editable paths do not guarantee editable text objects.
- Ideogram - plans ↗
The card shows $20 beside a $15/month annual equivalent with $180 billed annually. The current comparison table lists Plus 2, 400 priority credits/month, and its FAQ permits private generation on Plus/Pro. The extracted page does not independently establish the shopper’s market or checkout taxes.
- Ideogram - editable text layers ↗
Layerize Text is beta and extracts editable text components; curved, highly stylized, decorative or graphic-embedded text may not be detected. It is not a documented editable SVG export of the entire design.
- Ideogram - licensing boundaries ↗
The distinction between hosted use and a self-hosting licence for the open weights.
- Adobe Firefly - platform ↗
What the platform generates; it does not establish which surface exports an editable SVG.
- Adobe Firefly - plans ↗
A page body read on 2 November displayed Standard US$9.99/mo and Pro US$19.99/mo as Monthly. A separate earlier rendering returned EUR values with market unknown; no shopper location or actual checkout was verified.
- Adobe - generative credit rules ↗
Standard image features listed as unlimited while premium features consume credits; this is not extended to every action or partner model.
- Adobe Firefly - qualified indemnity ↗
Which models and features fall inside the indemnity, and which do not.
- Ideogram — hosted-service terms ↗
Section 2.1 does not restrict users’ output use including commercial purposes; users remain responsible for third-party rights. This concerns hosted-service output, not a commercial self-hosting licence for open weights.
- Recraft — transparent PNG workflow / 透明PNG流程 ↗
In Recraft Studio, import or generate animage, selectExport andPNG; RemoveBackground may be applied before PNG export to obtain transparency. ExactBasic workflow credits and editable bilingual text are not established here.
- Adobe Firefly Web — remove background / 网页移除背景 ↗
Firefly Web: Image→Edit image→Remove background. Downloading immediately after removal saves a transparentPNG. This page does not establish the task’s plan/credit cost.
