Our honest take
This is the rare comparison where the right answer might be 'both.' Canva is for making things. Faye Social is for knowing what to make. They solve different problems, and they solve them well.
Canva makes the post. Faye Social makes the strategy.
If you're already a confident creator who knows what you want to share, Canva Pro is a great $15. You'll make beautiful things faster. But Canva won't tell you that beautiful thing won't perform, won't help you write the caption, and won't pick the time. Faye Social does all three. Together they're a strong stack.
I use both: Canva for the design, Faye Social for the brain. Canva tells me 'this looks good.' Faye Social tells me 'post it Thursday at 7, caption it like this.'

Beautiful posts that no one sees don't help. Mediocre posts that hit at the right time with the right caption do. If your budget is $5/month, Faye Social changes the outcome more than Canva does. Once you're growing, add Canva back in. The two play nicely.
