Affinity Is Now FREE But There Could Be A BIG CATCH! | Adobe vs Canva

Affinity just shocked the creative world — all three of its professional design apps (Photo, Designer, and Publisher) are now FREE forever, and merged into one single program. Sounds too good to be true, right?

In this video, I break down what’s really happening behind this announcement — from Canva’s $380 million acquisition of Serif to how AI paywalls and freemium traps could change the future of creative software.

Adobe just raised its subscription prices again, so this Affinity move feels like perfect timing but is it a long-term win for designers or another slow bait-and-switch? Let’s take a realistic look at what this “free forever” promise could actually mean for your workflow and wallet.
