Adobe Express vs BookBrush

Adobe Express is a general design tool with AI features and clean typography, suitable for various projects beyond book covers, at $9.99/mo. BookBrush is tailored for self-published authors with book cover templates, 3D mockups, and ad designs, starting at $8.25/mo. Both offer free tiers, but BookBrush provides author-specific capabilities like box-set templates and BookTok graphics. The choice hinges on whether you need broad creative flexibility or focused book marketing tools.
