Not a canva fan at all.

Affinity for me. Made the switch when they launched after Adobe went monthly subscription got affinity photo and designer life time for $50 (25 each!)


Great on employees making bank from share options if that's what it is? Good. Can't take it away from them. Well done.

Sounds great wish them well. Never used it much myself but heard many like the software a lot.

Not used Canva in ages but I have been quite impressed with Affinity since it works surprisingly on Linux. As a non-pro though, I still wouldn't replace any of CC's stuff with Canva's when hiring a designer!
