Unencumbered by legacy code, the software tends to run a little faster than Illustrator, or a lot faster if you have a relatively new Mac (which is largely why it won an Apple Design Award) (which is largely why it won an Apple Design Award). Overall, this is one of the Best Adobe Illustrator Alternatives. Not only is it powerful and feature-rich, but its one-off purchase price (£48.99, discounts are sometimes available) is far cheaper than an Illustrator subscription. First launched in 2014, this vector editor from British software company Serif has gradually grown in popularity and influence, and for good reason. We reckon the best all-round alternative to Illustrator is Affinity Designer.
