Adobe XD vs Affinity Designer — Wer gewinnt?
Wähle Adobe XD, wenn: Teams, die schon für Adobe Creative Cloud zahlen und einfaches UI/UX-Design brauchen
Wähle Affinity Designer, wenn: Designer, die Adobes Abo-Steuer ablehnen und Pro-Level Vektor-Tools zum Einmalpreis wollen
Unsere Einschätzung: Adobe XD for simplicity, Affinity Designer for power users.
| Adobe XD | Affinity Designer | |
|---|---|---|
| Preise | No free plan (included in Creative Cloud $54.99/mo) | Single App $9.99/mo (legacy) | Affinity Designer 2 $69.99 one-time |
| Funktionen | Prototyping and wireframing, Repeat grid, Auto-animate, Voice prototyping, Creative Cloud integration | Vector and raster in one app, One-time purchase (no subscription), CMYK and Pantone support, 1,000,000%+ zoom, PSD and AI file import |
| Am besten für | Teams already paying for Adobe Creative Cloud who need basic UI/UX design | Designers who refuse to pay Adobe’s subscription tax and want pro-grade vector tools for a one-time fee |
| Lernkurve | Mittel | Mittel |
Der wahre Unterschied
Adobe XD offers a free tier while Affinity Designer doesn't — that matters if you're bootstrapping.
Adobe XD stands out with Prototyping and wireframing and Repeat grid. Affinity Designer counters with Vector and raster in one app and One-time purchase (no subscription).
Adobe XD's Achilles heel: adobe effectively abandoned it — no major updates since 2023, figma won the market. Affinity Designer's: no plugin ecosystem — what ships is what you get, and the community is small compared to illustrator. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value prototyping and wireframing and teams, die schon für, go with Adobe XD. If designer, die adobes abo-steuer matters more, Affinity Designer is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
