What differentiates Affinity Publisher from other similar products?
Affinity Publisher integrates virtually seamlessly with Affinity's other 2 products, Designer and Photo. The program is also faster and more responsive based on how the program was designed and engineered.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The responsiveness of the workflow. However its set up to work "under the hood," the program instantly produces the task.
What do you dislike most about this product?
If it can be considered a dislike, its only the infancy of the product and some features that designers have been used to in other products haven't been integrated yet. That said, Affinity is incredibly responsive to both question and feature requests.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
First is the price. The program is $55 and you "own" it. No subscriptions or "upgrade packages." I've been using Publisher since its Beta version and since my initial purchase, there's been multiple version upgrades and updates and all have been free. Purchasing all three programs in the suite is less than $200. The trial period is generous. I have not missed ANYTHING from either Adobe or Quark. I've had no problems with any printer that I've sent final PDFs to. Publisher feels intuitive and with the continuous upgrades, it just keeps getting better.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
