Why is Affinity so much more expensive on desktop?


Recommended Posts

But they're not the same products. They are similar, and make use of the same file formats, but the desktop versions have more functionality implemented than the iPad versions, and are worth the extra cost in my opinion.

When going down that site and revealing all Features and doing a quick CTRL+F and typing in for desktop only, you get at least 53 matches of Features the IPad doesn´t have.

20 matches for Publisher

58 matches for Designer

I haven´t looked if the matches are duplicates or not.
