Considered Both Products	Affinity Publisher Brian Keary Owner and CEO Chose Affinity Publisher It works just as well if not better than Adobe and doesn't have a monthly fee Incentivized Helpful? John Bergmann, MSM Business Owner Chose Affinity Publisher Only useful on the Windows platform. Perhaps it is just fine, but the plug-in style function of the Affinity photo and designer attached to Publisher makes the Affinity solution more robust. The Microsoft product is also attached to a subscription platform, where the Serif … Helpful? George Freeman Associate Professor Chose Affinity Publisher I used to use Adobe FrameMaker for similar tasks. Affinity Publisher is easier to use with similar functionality (excluding mathematics). Incentivized Helpful? Paul Gully Director Chose Affinity Publisher The features in Affinity Publisher easily stack up against the much more expensive Adobe suite of products. With the ability to open all file types it is a bit of a workhorse for all things. We have been using it for social media template designs as well as client booklets and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Affinity Publisher It's just as full-featured. It's nice to not be locked into the Adobe Creative Suite. We also use Affinity Photo, so we knew Affinity was a reputable company making some incredible software worth looking into. It took us a while, but very glad we gave it a chance. It can do … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Affinity Publisher Affinity Publisher has a comparable feature set to Adobe InDesign, but for a fraction of the cost. You can technically create print graphics in Illustrator and Sketch (and some of our people still do), but you have to worry about converting pixels to inches pretty regularly to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Affinity Publisher Affinity Publisher is a more cost effective way to achieve the same goals as InDesign and Quark. I'm sure there are various differences that Affinity may lack, however we have yet to run into one that our business has needed, or even recognized. It has completely replaced any … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Serif Europe If you are looking to get started using a publishing / creation application, Affinity Publisher is the one to go for. With a quick learning curve on all the basic functions, you'll be flying in no time. And then there is a whole heap of great features to get into as you become more comfortable with the software. The only down side is if clients are using Adobe programs, there are sometimes problems working with imported layers, but this is minor compared to the ease of use and features.

Pros	Serif Europe Supports just about any format you'll need for your project. The variety of templates makes startign projects simple. The program is just really powerful and fairly priced. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Serif Europe Menu differences can be an impediment to new users from other softwares Some functions are not in places I would expect John Bergmann, MSM Business Owner Read full review
Usability	Serif Europe It offers a user-friendly interface and powerful design tools that make creating high-quality graphics and layouts straightforward. However, some features can feel complex, especially for new users, which may require a bit of a learning curve. The integration between desktop and iPad is excellent, but improving compatibility with other popular software could enhance collaboration and efficiency even further. Overall, it’s a robust tool that balances functionality and ease of use quite well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Serif Europe Our team typically uses other online resources instead of contacting developers/manufacturers for support. That being said, there is a forum and a growing, vibrant community of users available to answer questions and "make the switch." A simple "whatever function we used to use in Adobe InDesign," followed by "Affinity," usually gets us on the right track to an answer. YouTube and their forums are our team's go-to sources for help.

Alternatives Considered	Serif Europe Affinity Publisher is a more cost effective way to achieve the same goals as InDesign and Quark. I'm sure there are various differences that Affinity may lack, however we have yet to run into one that our business has needed, or even recognized. It has completely replaced any desktop publishing for our organization without issue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Serif Europe I wish we could push it out to all staff but we can't quite afford the cost. Amount of features can be overwhelming for first time users and take more time. This program will save time once employees figure it out. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
