For new users, the one-time purchase price is remarkably affordable, especially considering the powerful capabilities of the Affinity suite. Notably, there are no subscription requirements, a key factor that led us to recognize Publisher as the top alternative to Adobe InDesign, while Affinity Photo emerged as a strong contender for the best Photoshop alternative. With the latest advancements introduced in the V2.1 update, Affinity’s position as a compelling alternative to Adobe’s offerings is further solidified.
