Pros

“It also offers a presentation mode for the design, showing what the client-facing view would look like, with the possibility of interaction if it was designed that way, for example, buttons, redirects to other designs, effects, and so on.”

Álvaro C.

Deploy Manager

“I wish there was a way to integrate Figma with our custom component library, even third party component libraries for front end development, so that designers can work with what the engineering team has built.”

Mat B.

Senior Engineer

“It includes several "frame" options, such as computer screens and various phone screen models, to specifically adapt designs to different devices.”

Álvaro C.

Deploy Manager

Pros

“Its performance is fast, the interface is intuitive once learned, and the one-time purchase offers outstanding value compared to subscription-based alternatives.”

Jamie P.

Designer

“The newer universal license is pure gold value as you can have all 3 affinity apps for all available platforms for the cost of few months of adobe subscription (although yeah adobe suite give you a wider arrange of apps, me as a graphic designer simple need the 3 basics illustrator/photoshop/indesign, why to pay every year for apps that I don't use?).”

Nikolas K.

Graphic Designer

“Affinity Designer is a great alternative for vector and branding work, especially for designers who prefer a one-time license.”

Rafia R.

Graphic Designer - Visual Branding

Cons

“Large files with lots of components tend to lag a bit too, which is annoying mid sprint. And if you need to work offline often, its not gonna cut it since its basically built to be cloud based.”

Sayuru K.

UI UX Engineer

“Offline functionality is limited, sometimes performance lags are seen when working on large design files”

Neha R.

Engineering Manager

“Also it lag and slow down when working on project with lot of artboards and heavy iamges.”

Ravi V.

Cons

“That you are not able to vectorize images - this has been lacking for so long, is the only ready I miss having adobe.”

Alexandra L.

Customer success manager

“Used to use Illustrator, but that was a right pain in the neck with the subscription fees.”
