Affinity Designer vs Maze

Affinity Designer is a vector graphics editor developed by Serif (now owned by Canva) for graphic design, illustration, and UI/UX work. Originally sold as a one-time purchase alternative to Adobe Illustrator, Affinity became completely free in 2025 following Canva's acquisition of Serif. The application combines vector and raster design tools in a single workspace with professional-grade features.

Maze is user testing and research platform that lets designers run usability tests on prototypes from Figma, Sketch, and others. It provides comprehensive features for design workflows. The tool is actively maintained with regular updates and strong community/vendor support.
