Der wahre Unterschied
Penpot has a free plan; Affinity Designer doesn't. Budget-conscious? That's your answer.
Affinity Designer stands out with Vector and raster in one app and One-time purchase (no subscription). Penpot counters with Open source and self-hostable and SVG-native design.
Affinity Designer's Achilles heel: no plugin ecosystem — what ships is what you get, and the community is small compared to illustrator. Penpot's: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value vector and raster in one app and designer, die adobes abo-steuer, go with Affinity Designer. If open-source-fans, die eine selbst-gehostete matters more, Penpot is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
