Canvas GFX
Best of Canvas X Draw : I recommend Canvas X Draw to students who are pursuing engineering. They provide great customer service. They do offer a non-subscription service which is great for students. The all-in-one graphic design and illustration technically for multi framework Where Canvas X Draw can do better: They have fewer fill options. The offset path function option is not there.

Markup Hero
For us, it's sending real estate setup sheets with multiple properties and lots of comments and feedback. It's great for quick feedback and shares. If I need to make a custom graphic tho its not quite powerful enough as Photoshop or other tools. The former is about 90% of my use cases, the latter only 10% so it's still worth it. But I can see they are adding more and more design oriented features so I suspect I won't need Photoshop much longer.

Markup Hero
Markup Hero stands out because it is truly web based and supports PDFs (among a host of other file types). The annotation tools are significantly smoother and always editable. I don't know of any other products that provide a web experience that allows for edits at anytime. Plus the team is clearly working hard to iterate the product and regularly delivering new features.
