Affinity Designer vs Linearity Curve

Affinity Designer has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Linearity Curve is a design app for vector and raster artwork, with illustration tools, templates, brand kits, and presentation design. Native apps run on iPad, Mac, and iPhone; supported systems include iPadOS 14 and macOS Big Sur or later. Users can edit PDFs as Curve files, including transforming, annotating, and signing them, then export to PDF, SVG, EPS, and other print or digital formats. AI tools include background removal, AI Grab, and Magic Eraser. Core design features, local files, and exports work offline, though cloud features may be limited. Users can switch among personal, team, and client workspaces and share files across devices, but real-time collaboration is not available. The free plan includes 250 lifetime credits, one basic brand kit, and 5GB of cloud storage, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $8 per month billed annually, and a seven-day trial is listed. Students, teachers, schools, and institutions save 58% on the yearly Pro Plan. Files are not used for AI training unless users opt in within the app.
