Introduction

If you run marketing for a small business or agency, the design to-do list never ends. Social posts. Ads in five sizes. A brochure. A short promo video. A refreshed landing page. Hiring a designer and a video editor full-time is expensive, and freelancers can be unreliable.

Kimp offers a different setup: a dedicated design team (and a video team if you need it) for a flat monthly fee, with unlimited requests and revisions. Plans start at $1,397 a month, and you can combine graphics and video for $1,697.

But "unlimited" always comes with fine print. In this review, I'll explain what Kimp actually includes, what it costs in 2026, how much work you can realistically expect, what reviews say, and whether it's worth the subscription.

The Short Answer: Is Kimp Worth It?

Kimp is worth it for marketing teams, agencies and small businesses that need a steady stream of graphics and short videos from a dedicated team, but "unlimited" means an open queue, not unlimited output, and it isn't built for big brand or website projects.

How I Wrote This Review

I put this review together in early November 2026. I went through Kimp's own website and company information, a detailed 2026 pricing breakdown from a competing service, and Kimp's ratings on review platforms.

I haven't been a Kimp subscriber myself. I run a small design studio, so I'm looking at this as someone who sells a similar kind of service.

What Is Kimp?

Kimp is a design subscription based in Canada. Instead of paying per project, you pay a flat monthly fee for a dedicated team: a project manager and designers who handle your requests.

It says its designers are full-time remote employees, not freelancers, and that it doesn't outsource work. It also runs KIMP360, a platform for managing requests.

Kimp says it has served 5,000+ business customers and delivered 600,000+ designs, with 275+ designers and illustrators. These are its own figures.

What does "Kimp" mean?

Kimp is simply the company's name. It's best known as an unlimited graphic design and video subscription.

  • Stock images and source files

  • Print, digital, illustration, basic GIFs, landing pages, web and app UI, and Canva work

Kimp Video

  • 2 active requests at a time

  • A dedicated video team

  • Stock images, video and audio

  • Editing, animation, motion graphics, GIFs and template customization

Combined plan

  • 5 active requests across design and video

How Much Work Can You Actually Get?

This is the most important thing to understand. "Unlimited" means you can add unlimited requests to the queue, not that unlimited work gets done.

According to the 2026 breakdown:

  • Graphics: about 2 to 2.5 production hours per business day, spread across your active tasks.

  • Video: about one 30–60 second animation every 24 hours, or one 10-minute edit every 2 to 4 business days.

  • Turnaround: about 24 hours for simple tasks, 2 to 4 days for complex ones.

A worked example

Say you run marketing for a small software company. In one month, you need:

  • 20 social media graphics,

  • 6 ad variations,

  • 1 brochure,

  • 4 short promo videos (30 seconds each).

On the Graphics + Video plan ($1,697/month), that's realistic. Graphics come back in a day or two each, and short videos at about one per day. A full website redesign or brand identity, though, would stretch the plan.

Kimp Reviews: What Do Customers Say?

Kimp's ratings on third-party platforms, as reported in the 2026 breakdown:

Platform

Rating

Trustpilot

4.9 (353 reviews)

Clutch

4.7 (30 reviews)

G2

4.1 (16 reviews)

Kimp's own site shows slightly different numbers (4.9 on Clutch and 4.7 on Google), so check the latest on each platform.

What strengths come through

  • Flat monthly fee with unlimited revisions.

  • Dedicated team that learns your brand.

  • No contract and a low-risk 7-day trial.

  • Video included in one subscription.

What complaints come up

  • Capacity limits. Not ideal for high-volume or same-day needs.

  • No creative director. Less strategic direction.

  • Video is for short pieces, not full brand films.

  • Pricing changes with promotions, and longer-term prices aren't published.

Is the Kimp Subscription Worth It?

  • Worth it if: you need steady graphics and short videos, you like having a dedicated team, and you'll keep the queue full.

  • Not worth it if: you only need a few designs a month, you need strategic brand work, or you need large website projects.

Is Kimp Legit?

Yes. Kimp is a Canadian company founded in 2019, with hundreds of reviews on Trustpilot and more on Clutch and G2.

My Honest Design Opinion

As a designer, I like that Kimp gives you a dedicated team. When the same people work on your brand every day, quality and speed improve.

My honest caution: understand the capacity. About 2 to 2.5 production hours a day is fine for social graphics and ads, but not for a big brand or website project. Use Kimp for volume, not for strategy.

Pros of Kimp

  • Dedicated design and video teams.

  • Flat monthly price.

  • Unlimited revisions and brands.

  • Month-to-month, with a 7-day trial.

  • Strong Trustpilot rating.

Cons of Kimp

  • "Unlimited" is a queue, not unlimited output.

  • No creative director.

  • Short-form video only.

  • Longer-term pricing not published.

  • No refunds for unused months.

Who Should Hire Kimp?

Kimp is a good fit for:

  • marketing teams with steady graphic needs,

  • agencies that need white-label design,

  • small businesses that need graphics and short videos,

  • e-commerce brands with lots of ad creative.

Who Should Look Elsewhere?

Look elsewhere if you:

  • need a brand identity or strategy,

  • need a full website designed and built,

  • need long-form video production,

  • only need a few designs a month,

  • need same-day turnaround.

Questions to Ask Before You Sign

  1. "How many production hours per day will my team spend on my work?"

  2. "What does the promo price become after four months?"

  3. "What are your quarterly and annual prices?"

  4. "Who will be on my dedicated team?"

  5. "How do you handle urgent requests?"

  6. "Can I pause instead of canceling?"

A Quick Note About Me

I'm Subarno, and I run a small design and no-code studio. If you need a steady flow of ads, social graphics and short videos, Kimp's dedicated team is set up for that. My retainer doesn't cover video production.

Where I'm different is websites and branding. If you need a Framer or Webflow site designed and built, a brand guide, and the graphics to match, my $1,000/month retainer covers:

  • website design in Figma,

  • website builds in Framer or Webflow,

  • branding for smaller businesses, like logos, colors and brand guides,

  • small website animations and interactions,

  • banners, posters and social media content.

A lot of my work is white-label for agencies, much like Kimp's agency clients. If that sounds right, book a free 30-minute call or reach me through my contact page.

Final Verdict: Is Kimp Worth It?

Kimp is a well-reviewed design and video subscription with dedicated teams, flat pricing and a no-contract setup. At $1,397 to $1,697 a month, it's good value for steady graphics and short videos.

It's worth it if you'll use the queue every day. It's not the right choice for strategic brand work, full websites or long-form video. Try the 7-day trial, check the real capacity, and confirm pricing after any promotion.
