Affinity 2is an alternative toAdobe’s Creative Cloud.

You pay $99.99 once and can use the app across all those platforms forever.

Not $99.99 per month or per year, but just once.

“The Affinity apps are great.

Good Enough

Like the original Affinity suite, version 2 is a suite of interconnected apps.

But it’s not for everyone.

And as you’d expect, there are some features that are not shared between rival suites.

Subscription Fatigue

App subscriptions are great… for some apps.

But subscription fatigue is a real problem.

Who wants to pay $10 per month just for a fancy notes app?

Especially if you lose access to your notes when you stop paying.

It used to be that you would buy an app, keep using it, and that was it.

Part of the problem here is Apple.

Theres no way to update pricing.

Its either a one-off or a subscription.

There aresome exceptions, but things get complicated, fast.

Congrats, you just saved another $85.
