Adobe XD vs Affinity Designer——どっちが優秀？
Adobe XDを選ぶべき人: すでにAdobe Creative Cloudを契約していて、基本的なUI/UXデザインが必要なチーム向け
Affinity Designerを選ぶべき人: Adobeのサブスク税を拒否し、買い切りでプロ級ベクターツールが欲しいデザイナー
私たちの見解: Adobe XD for simplicity, Affinity Designer for power users.
| Adobe XD | Affinity Designer | |
|---|---|---|
| 料金 | No free plan (included in Creative Cloud $54.99/mo) | Single App $9.99/mo (legacy) | Affinity Designer 2 $69.99 one-time |
| 機能 | 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 |
| こんな人に最適 | 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 |
| 学習コスト | 普通 | 普通 |
本当の違い
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.
結論
If you value prototyping and wireframing and すでにadobe creative cloudを契約していて、基本的なui/uxデザインが必要なチーム向け, go with Adobe XD. If adobeのサブスク税を拒否し、買い切りでプロ級ベクターツールが欲しいデザイナー matters more, Affinity Designer is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
