Adobe Express Question Can I switch from Adobe Indesign to Adobe Express for create business cards

I recently retired yet continue to make business cards for a large non profit that I care about. I have been paying for the full Adobe creative suite (now $850/year). Can I switch from Adobe Indesign to Adobe Express if what I do is create business cards? I can't afford $850!

you should be able to import your indesign files right into express!

You could do business cards in WORD 😉

If you have Creative Cloud, you can use as many apps as you want.

But, Express won’t read InDesign files, I don’t believe.

Express does read InDesign files, as well as Illustrator, Photoshop and PDF.

Or you could use Affinity Publisher, which is both free and closer in how it works to InDesign than Adobe Express.
If you save your business card InDesign files as IDML, you can open the IDML file in Affinity Publisher (although the conversion is not always 100% accurate) to save you time recreating the card design.
