For single-person teams or very small teams, I think Affinity Photo is great as it has a one-off cost and no ongoing subscriptions. If people are familiar with the Adobe products it might take a period of adjusting to Affinity Photo. It might also be overkill for some people's needs. But it does offer everything and room to grow. So weighing up what you need to do with photos and seeing if it fits is important.

Simplified
Simplified is best suited for blog writers, e-commerce professionals, sales and marketing related tasks, social media posts for professional purposes, creating organizational level documents such as technical reports, memorandum, company bio and job description. Simplified is not an ideal tool for graphics and video related content. The pricing is also a factor. Sole proprietors and startups may not be able to afford their monthly and/or annual plans

I think Affinity Photo is on par with Adobe PhotoShop. They are very similar products with both bringing many features users need. The main reason I picked Affinity Photo was its pricing of it. I didn't require Adobe products all the time. And felt they weren't offering me as much value.
