RelayThat review: $25 a month to stop resizing graphics
RelayThat generates dozens of on-brand graphics from one input, and charges more than tools that do more. Our check of relaythat.com on 15 June 2026, four months before this review, recorded $25 a month for a single user and the same $25 a month for a two-user plan, with no free tier underneath either.
The short answer
Buy RelayThat if you publish the same message across many platforms every week and brand consistency matters more than individual design. It was $25 a month for one user on our 15 June 2026 check of relaythat.com, which is $300 across a year, and there is a free trial but no free plan.
Skip it if you post to one or two places, or if you want to control the design. Canva Pro was $15 a month per person on our 14 June 2026 check of Canva's pricing and gives you a real editor. RelayThat's templates cannot be freely edited and there is no undo history to fall back on.
Where RelayThat fits
RelayThat is an automation layer rather than a design tool. You load a logo, a colour set, fonts and a headline once, and it produces the same idea sized for every platform you publish on. The output is consistent by construction, which is the point, and formulaic for the same reason. A magic import reads your website and pulls the brand assets out of it, which is the fastest setup in this group and the part that works best.
Pricing is flat and short. Our 15 June 2026 check of relaythat.com recorded $25 a month for the single-user Pro plan, with custom pricing above that for larger teams. Twelve monthly payments at $25 is $300 across a year, and our snapshot records annual billing options as limited, so budget on the monthly rate.
The two-user plan is the one genuine bargain here, because it was also $25 a month on that check. Split between two people that is $12.50 each a month and $150 each across a year, which puts it below most single-seat design subscriptions.
There is no free plan at all. A free trial is available, so the evaluation window is whatever the vendor currently offers rather than an indefinite tier you can sit on, and our snapshot does not record its length. Check that before you plan a test.
The tool has been sold through lifetime deals on AppSumo in the past. Our snapshot records that fact without a price, so we will not put a number on it, and a past deal is not something to count on when budgeting today.
Against the category the price is high for what you get. Canva Pro was $15 a month per person, verified 14 June 2026, with a full editor and far more templates. VistaCreate Pro was $13 a month, or $10 a month billed annually, verified 10 June 2026, and includes a one-click resize that covers much of the same ground manually. Snappa Pro was $10 a month, verified 12 June 2026, and also resizes in one click.
The figures here come from one check on 15 June 2026, four months before this review was written. A product with a short rate card and no free tier can change its packaging quickly, so read relaythat.com before subscribing. The thumbnail and graphics tools category lists the alternatives with their own dates.
RelayThat pricing
RelayThat prices per user on a monthly subscription, with no free tier and no usage meter. Both published figures below come from our check of relaythat.com on 15 June 2026 and are four months old at the time of writing.
| Plan | Price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | $25/mo | Monthly billing, one user. $300 across twelve months |
| Team | $25/mo | Monthly billing, two users. $12.50 each a month on the same rate |
| Enterprise | Custom | Quoted. Contact the vendor for larger teams |
There is almost nothing to configure, which makes the cost easy to predict. Four things set it:
- Head count against the published plans. One user and two users were both $25 a month on our 15 June 2026 check, so a pair pays $12.50 each.
- Anything above two users, which was custom-quoted on that check. We have no figure for it and will not estimate one.
- Billing period. Our snapshot records annual options as limited, so plan on $25 a month and $300 a year.
- How many platforms you publish to, because the automation only pays for itself if you would otherwise be resizing by hand several times a week.
RelayThat pricing against the design tools
At $25 a month RelayThat is the most expensive single seat in this group. Canva Pro was $15 a month per person, verified 14 June 2026, and Canva Teams was $10 a month per person for a minimum of two people on the same check. VistaCreate Pro was $13 a month, verified 10 June 2026, and Snappa Pro was $10 a month, verified 12 June 2026. Both of those include one-click resizing, which is the manual version of what RelayThat automates. The dates run from 10 to 15 June 2026, so these are separate checks rather than one survey.
RelayThat billing terms worth knowing
The two-user plan priced at a single-user rate is the detail worth acting on.
- Pro
- $25 a month for one user, as of 15 June 2026. $300 across twelve months.
- Team
- $25 a month for two users on the same check, which is $12.50 each a month.
- Two users across a year
- $300 in total, or $150 each, on that monthly rate.
- Enterprise
- Custom-quoted for larger teams. No figure recorded.
- Free plan
- None. A free trial was available instead on 15 June 2026.
- Contract
- Monthly, cancel anytime, with no annual commitment recorded.
- Check date
- 15 June 2026. Four months old and not re-verified since.
RelayThat is a time purchase, not a design purchase. If it saves you two hours a week of resizing, $300 a year on the 15 June 2026 rate is cheap; if it saves twenty minutes, it is not. Our cost calculators will total a creator stack once you have each vendor's current figures.
What RelayThat gives up
Creative control, which is the deliberate trade. Templates dictate the layout, you cannot add arbitrary elements, and the output is recognisable as RelayThat output to anyone who has seen it before. Invited collaborators generate inside the brand constraints the account owner sets, which is the useful flip side of the same restriction.
Undo. Our source material records no undo function or version history, which is an unusual gap in a design tool and changes how carefully you work.
Batch downloads. Images come out one at a time, so a run of fifty assets is fifty clicks, which eats into the time the automation was bought to save. Measure that step in the trial rather than assuming it away.
A free plan. There is no indefinite tier, so you are paying from the end of the trial, and at $25 a month that is the highest entry price in this group on our 15 June 2026 check.
Documentation and onboarding depth. The learning material is thin, which matters more in a tool whose value depends on setting up a brand correctly at the start. A bad import at the beginning propagates into every graphic the tool then generates.
Format range. Output is PNG and JPG for static graphics, with no vector, PDF or video export, so anything print or motion needs another tool.
Price certainty. Our evidence is one check on 15 June 2026, and a vendor that has run lifetime deals in the past is one whose pricing model has moved before.
How RelayThat compares
The three tools below are the ones RelayThat is weighed against, and the axis is automation against creative control. Each price is that vendor's own published rate with the date we checked it, and the dates differ by days, so read them separately. The wider field sits in the thumbnail and graphics tools category.
| Tool | Best for | Price | Where it breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| RelayThat | One input, dozens of on-brand sizes | $25/mo one user, $25/mo two users (June 2026) | No free plan, no undo, rigid templates |
| Canva | General design with a real editor | Free, $15/mo per person on Pro (June 2026) | Resizing is a feature you drive, not automation |
| VistaCreate | Cheap graphics with animation and one-click resize | Free, $13/mo Pro ($10 annually), June 2026 | Editor can stall on heavy designs |
| Snappa | Fast static social posts and thumbnails | Free, $10/mo Pro (June 2026) | No animation, no video, JPG and PNG only |
What to test in the RelayThat trial
There is no free plan, so the trial is the whole evaluation. Our 15 June 2026 check recorded the paid rate at $25 a month, and the trial length is not in our snapshot, so confirm it first.
- Check today's price and the trial length on relaythat.com. Our figures are from 15 June 2026 and four months old.
- Load your real brand: logo, colours, fonts and the headline style you publish with in practice. A trial run on sample assets proves nothing.
- Generate a full week of content across every platform you post to, then look at the set side by side and ask whether it looks repetitive.
- Time the download step for one of those sets, because images come out individually and that is where the saving leaks away.
- Try to make one small change a client would ask for, such as moving a logo. If you cannot, that is the ceiling and it will not lift.
- If two of you need accounts, note that the two-user plan was also $25 a month on our 15 June 2026 check, so the pair rate is $12.50 each.
- Compare the hours saved against the alternatives before the trial ends. VistaCreate Pro at $13 a month, verified 10 June 2026, resizes in one click manually, and our cost calculators will total either choice.
RelayThat questions buyers ask
How much does RelayThat cost per month?
RelayThat costs $25/month for a single user (Pro plan). A two-user plan is also $25/month. Enterprise pricing is custom for larger teams. There's no free plan, but a free trial is available. At $25/month, it's more expensive than most general-purpose design tools. The premium pays for automated multi-platform generation.
Does RelayThat have a free plan or free trial?
RelayThat does not offer a free plan. However, a free trial is available so you can test the platform before committing. Use the trial to create graphics for a real content week and evaluate whether the automation justifies the $25/month cost. Past AppSumo lifetime deals have also offered discounted access.
Who is RelayThat best for?
RelayThat is best for solo creators, social media managers, and agencies who post across 4+ platforms regularly and need consistent branding across all of them. It's ideal for high-volume, brand-consistent output where speed matters more than creative uniqueness. It's not suited for designers who want creative control or creators who post to only 1 to 2 platforms.
RelayThat vs Canva: which is better?
Canva is the better general-purpose design tool, with more templates, more features and more creative flexibility at a lower price: Canva Pro was $15 a month per person when we checked Canva's pricing page on 14 June 2026. RelayThat is better specifically for automated multi-platform generation, where one input produces dozens of branded images, and it was $25 a month on our 15 June 2026 check of relaythat.com. Choose Canva for creative design work, and RelayThat only if platform-by-platform automation is the priority.
What does RelayThat integrate with?
RelayThat integrates with Pixabay for stock images and can import brand assets from your website URL via its 'magic import' feature. Direct integrations with social media schedulers, cloud storage, or project management tools are limited. You download graphics and upload them to your publishing tools manually.
Can I use RelayThat for YouTube thumbnails?
RelayThat can generate YouTube thumbnail-sized graphics as part of its multi-platform output. However, thumbnails are a creative format where unique, attention-grabbing designs perform best, and RelayThat's template-locked approach limits your creative options. For thumbnails specifically, Canva or Snappa offer more design flexibility to create click-worthy images.
What file formats can I download from RelayThat?
RelayThat exports graphics as PNG and JPG files in high resolution. Each image must be downloaded individually. There's no batch download or ZIP export option. The resolution is suitable for social media, web, and most print applications. There's no SVG, PDF, or video export.
Can teams collaborate in RelayThat?
Yes, RelayThat supports team collaboration through role-based access. Account owners set brand guidelines (logo, colors, fonts, templates), and invited collaborators can generate graphics within those constraints without changing brand settings. This works well for agencies and franchises. However, there's no real-time co-editing, commenting, or approval workflow.
Is RelayThat worth the money?
If you post across five or more platforms daily and spend real time resizing and reformatting graphics, RelayThat's automation at $25 a month, as recorded on 15 June 2026, can save enough time to justify the premium. If you post to two or three platforms a few times a week, cheaper tools with manual resizing are better value: Canva Pro was $15 a month per person on our 14 June 2026 check of Canva's pricing, and VistaCreate Pro was $13 a month, or $10 a month billed annually, on our 10 June 2026 check.
Can I cancel RelayThat anytime?
Yes, RelayThat subscriptions are monthly and can be cancelled anytime. There are no annual contracts or long-term commitments. You keep access until the end of your current billing period. If you subscribed through AppSumo's lifetime deal, different terms may apply.
