Design software developer Serif has launched a new six-month free trial for its Affinity creative suite, which is well regarded as being one of the few viable alternatives to Adobe\u2019s professional design apps. The offer<\/a> is available for Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher<\/a> starting today on Mac, Windows PC, and iPad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Affinity uses a one-time purchase pricing model that has earned it a loyal fanbase among creatives who are sick of paying for recurring subscriptions. Prices start at $69.99<\/a> for Affinity\u2019s individual desktop apps or $164.99 for the entire suite, with a separate deal currently offering customers 50 percent off all perpetual licenses. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n This discount, alongside the six-month free trial, is potentially geared at soothing concerns<\/a> that Affinity would change its pricing model after being acquired by Canva earlier this year<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re saying \u2018try everything and pay nothing\u2019 because we understand making a change can be a big step, particularly for busy professionals,\u201d said Affinity CEO Ashley Hewson. \u201cAnyone who takes the trial is under absolutely no obligation to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
