A diferença real
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.
Conclusão
If you value vector and raster in one app and designers que se recusam, go with Affinity Designer. If desenvolvedores de apps e matters more, Rive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
