Been a happy client since Affinity Photo beta. Seem one time payment is not good for the company. Maybe some time when there's smth I actually need in v2, I'll check for upgrade said: The v1 software is running perfectly fine and has a great toolset available to it. Personally, I still believe it's great software, but I don't think the new features (although they sound great) are worth upgrading for me just yet. The pricing is also more than fair considering Adobe's CC subs. While I wouldn't really consider this a scam, since Serif hasĬreated a great piece of software and has provided updates for a long time before upgrading to v2. Still, I'm sure, many people will now wonder when v3 will appear and how long they will now receive updates, given that before it was assumed Affinity would just endlessly receive free updates.
Given that v1, however, lasted 7 years worth of updates (and you can continue using it) it could be assumed that they won't just release v3 one year later (making it more like a sub than a one-off purchase). The pricing is more than fair, yet there has been some outcry by people who purchased v1 less than a year ago and now don't receive unlimited updates as promised. Designer) come to 40-50€ish, so Universal would be cheaper if you need all apps. Cheapest I could find is Egypt for ~82€ which almost is a steal for all their apps (on all platforms, if you need that). Universal license is priced at 119€ here in Germany. The current launch offer from Serif gives you 40% discount on the individual licenses (photo/designer/publisher) or on their AIO "Universal" License which covers all their apps on all their platforms (Windows, Mac, iPad/iOS). At the same time, v1 software will be discontinued, albeit you can continue using it for as long as you like. So, after 7(?!) years of free updates for existing clients, Serif launched Affinity v2 (Designer/Photo/Publisher) which will need to be re-purchased if you want that "upgrade".
