For those who do not know Ragtime, it is a DTP application for businesses, comparable with Affinity Publisher. Normal price 737 EURO, discounted price until 16 december 637 EURO. Look at the website how much you pay for the 64bit update for Ragtime 7 (from version 6.6.6). Even when Affinity doesn't have all functionality of Adobe, I will not return back to Adobe for sure.įor those who find this upgrade too little, think twice. In the past I had Adobe subscriptions for InDesign. Try that kind of support with Adobe and I can tell you, you run back to Affinity.

When you make use of the discount, after less than 2 months you are winning compared with Adobe.Īnother advantage of Serif/Affinity is that the development team is listening to their users. Without discount it will 199 euro for a program which you can keep using, even when the next (v3) version will come out. Now you have to pay 119 Euro (a dolar is more than one euro on this moment) for the universal licence with the discount. I took these 3 applications because the universal license also cover these. Which makes a total of 66,17 USD a month. Now compare that with an Adobe subscription. Lets say you paid for Affinity in January this year. We could use Affinity since 2016 (2020 for Publisher I think) for so many years with a single payment. This Universal License is one of the best deals I have ever seen, it is almost like I have to pinch myself, still in disbelief. I guess for some people they can't see the forest for the trees. And it gave me two things that I did not have, Publisher for Windows and Publisher for iPad. Version 1 of the Affinity line that I had cost me something like $230, but now with this Universal License I have version 2 for $100. With this Universal License I am able to get that upgrade cost to version 2 of Designer down to $33. You add those 3 purchases and the price comes out to $90-95. How is that not the ultimate upgrade price? I bought Designer version 1, when it was on sale, so the Mac, Windows desktops apps cost me something like $35-40 a piece and I bought the iPad app for $15. Universal License for $99.99 that gives me 9 installers, each app for each platform? Sold!!!

Then I wake up on November 9th, check for news, and see the pricing. I was thinking before November 9th, wow, that is 7 installers in all for the apps that I have and did not look forward to how much that would all cost to upgrade. I own the Mac, Windows and iPad versions of Designer and Photo and with Publisher I only had the Mac version of it. Yeah, don't understand the gripes about pricing.
