“When we made Affinity free, some people assumed there had to be a catch. Let me be absolutely clear. There is no catch.”
I do not think this comment will age well. You don’t spend USD$1 billion on something just to give it away. It’s very likely the plan is a freemium model, because that’s what the rest of Canva is. That means gating features behind a subscription tier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9YR9KeCJDY
@drewpickard @marcedwards Had to buy it every 3 years or so, and for *much* more money if you needed the the more of the Adobe Suite. The pricing was also geographically wildly uneven.
It was cheaper to book a flight from Oslo, Norway to New York. Buy Adobe Creative suite and fly back to Norway. And those flight tickets weren’t cheap.
That said, the last Adobe Product I paid for was still CS6, and I completely abandoned them for personal work. (And tried to avoid them even when the work place paid.)
