Der wahre Unterschied
Rive 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). Rive counters with State machine editor for interactive animations and Lightweight runtimes for iOS, Android, Web, and Flutter.
Affinity Designer's Achilles heel: no plugin ecosystem — what ships is what you get, and the community is small compared to illustrator. Rive's: the state machine concept is powerful but intimidating — non-developers will hit a wall fast. 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 app-entwickler und motion designer, matters more, Rive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
