    Affinity Publisher info, screenshots & reviewsAlternatives to Affinity Publisher
    From the earliest days of visualizing the Affinity range, we planned an unrivaled trio of sleek, modern apps tailored to work with the latest technology – ultra-fast, with stunning power and completely stripped of bloat.

    The final step towards realizing that ambition will come with the launch of Affinity Publisher.

    It’s an all-new app which we believe will revolutionize desktop publishing, in the same way Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer have shaken up professional photo editing and graphic design.

    Said about Affinity Publisher as an alternative

    Although it is only in beta, it has already proven to do everything Indesign can do. It is also much more intuitive.
    Positive comment • about 2 years ago • as an alternative to   Adobe InDesign

    Not only a good alternative, the latest version (1.8) loads InDesign IDML files.

    orondunedin Great, inexpensive page layout software. It's not really a feature-for-feature replacement for InDesign, but it is powerful, particularly if you also have Affinity Photo and Designer.
