Affinity plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affinity STALE · 2026-09-10 | $0 | — | Flat monthly | $0 — the official site states Affinity is free, with every tool in the Pixel, Vector and Layout studios plus all customization and export features, 'with no restrictions or payment needed'. There is no paid Affinity tier and no published one-time or perpetual licence price on the site any more, so the historic perpetual fee is deliberately not recorded as a current figure. The one caveat a buyer should know: Canva's AI tools inside Affinity (generative fill, background removal, image and vector generation) require a separate Canva premium plan, whose price is not published on the Affinity site. | affinity.studio |
Last verified 2026-09-10. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. Re-verified 2026-09-10. affinity.studio states verbatim: 'Yes, Affinity really is free. You can use every tool in the Pixel, Vector, and Layout studios, plus all of the customization and export features, as much as you want, with no restrictions or payment needed.' No one-time, perpetual or subscription price appears anywhere on the site, so no licence figure is asserted and the single plan is recorded at $0. The Canva dependency was re-confirmed: Canva's AI tools inside Affinity require a separate Canva premium plan, whose price the Affinity site does not publish. There is no pricing page to cite — affinity.serif.com/pricing and affinity.studio/pricing do not resolve — so the homepage is the source of record.

This standing as a plaque
Affinity currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 11 of 14 · Design Tools. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Affinity moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
