Fed up with being 'held prisoner' by the Adobe CC subscription model?
Looking for an alternative that truly does rival Indesign, professionally, at a one-off, affordable cost - or even free? ('free' doesn't necessarily clinch it for me if 'affordable' functions better as I use Adobe CC for a living)
I've started looking around and have come across Scribus (free, open source) and Affinity Publisher (£48.99/$64/Au$87) by Serif. The company also produces Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo which appear to be equivalents of Illustrator and Photoshop respectively and which I also use.
Here's a link comparing Scribus and Affinity Publisher The best alternatives to Adobe InDesign for iOS and Mac
I like the look of the intuitive functionality of Publisher which seems v similar to Indesign but there are lots of good responses to Scribus too which some describe as not as intuitive as Indesign - and so harder to switch - but 'powerful'. Any thoughts anyone?
