2.8 /5 composite score
C1 5/5 reflects 100% free access to all features with no tiered pricing, no paywall. C2 2/5: no documented public API, CLI, or scripting surface -- browser-based GUI interaction only. C3 4/5 reflects web-based self-serve signup and no installation requirements. C4 1/5: no export/portability formats documented; interior design work remains within Canoa's native format. C5 2/5 reflects mentions of Pinterest, AutoCAD, CSV, and SIF integrations but lacks detail on scope and reliability; firm-size fit is solo to growing for small interior design practices.
