Perbedaan Sesungguhnya
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.
Kesimpulan
If you value prototyping and wireframing and tim yang sudah berlangganan, go with Adobe XD. If desainer yang menolak membayar matters more, Affinity Designer is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
