Affinity Designer vs. eContractHub vs. Venngage

For graphic design work, it’s certainly the best that Affinity Designer has to offer. It can compete very well with its competitors and offers a very polished and stable interface for most uses. I’d say it doesn’t do as well with rasterizations and some types of advanced applications when working with vectors, and it lacks some AI integrations, something that’s a hot topic right now.

Venngage works really well for basically creating any type of standard infographic that you can see when you browse the templates. We have used it successfully to communicate retention data, strategic plan information, workflows and more. It doesn't work as well though when you try to get too fancy with it. Meaning, you want a Word Cloud taking on a specific shape or reusing certain words a specific number of times. For those things, we found that it was best to use another application and then import the work as a graphic.

• It's missing a vector trace tool.

• They have an AI generator, but it can only generate the design once. Any modifications should be manually done. It would be great if the AI could make specific changes instead of having it regenerate everything.
• You can't use it on a mobile phone or tablet, it would be helpful if I could use it on my tablet for work done outside my office.
• It would be great if I could delete multiple designs at once. Currently, I can only delete them one by one.

I use Venngage for a new project 1-2 times per week... I could not see using another program at this point.

Definitely a learning curve coming from Adobe. There's also some features missing for now and major orgs/vendors are still locked into Adobe for the foreseeable future. Great to have other more affordable options.

I find it very user friendly, straight to the point, and the minor issues I found wasn't really impacting on my role. So I think it would depend? but personally I find it perfect for me. There were lots of templates I could use, and they were very open to feedback and customer service was very accommodating.

I have not had much opportunity to go directly to support, but the training modules that are employed by the company are fantastic. I also find that if I need to understand something, there is always another user ready and willing to share their secrets. As this tool becomes more accepted local communities will also start to organize

I think that the attention that I get as a small business owner from Venngage is excellent. They quickly respond to questions and provide information that helps to resolve the issue that I am having.

Every app has something to offer. Affinity Designer is a great alternative to the high price and usage limitation of Adobe apps and Clip Studio's convoluted pricing/installation pricing. If you want a quick and easy to use app to get started on your art, then Affinity Designer has the tools for you. If you are a professional artist and needs the latest file types for professional clients, then this is the app for you!

Canva had a lot of features, which is great, but I got overwhelmed and I didn't know where to start. Adobe PhotoShop is great too, but I think it's better for more experienced editors/designers? I'm not an editor, I don't know a lot of stuff with editing, so it was difficult. I rely on my common sense mostly.

• Perfect for professionals. The price is insane for a professional tool.
• I am able to fit the price of Affinity Designer into our business budget.

• It was frustrating to be required to purchase a full month, not be able to download into PowerPoint and edit, and not be given a refund.
