A diferença real
Sketch has a free plan; Affinity Designer doesn't. Budget-conscious? That's your answer.
Affinity Designer stands out with One-time purchase (no subscription) and CMYK and Pantone support. Sketch counters with Symbols and shared styles and Prototyping.
Affinity Designer's Achilles heel: no plugin ecosystem — what ships is what you get, and the community is small compared to illustrator. Sketch's: mac only — no windows, no linux, no web app. lost massive market share to figma. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value one-time purchase (no subscription) and designers que se recusam, go with Affinity Designer. If times de design mac-only matters more, Sketch is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
