Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Affinity
Photo, vector and layout, free for individuals
Affinity is three professional applications in one window: a pixel editor, a vector editor and a page layout tool, with no round trip between them. Canva bought it and made it free, which is the largest thing to happen to paid creative software in years. Files from the Adobe applications open with their layers intact.
Our note
This is the most significant thing to happen to paid creative software in years, and there is no catch that we can find. If you edit photos or lay out documents and have been renting the ability to do it, install this before renewing anything.

Evoto
Batch retouching for photographers who shoot volume
Evoto is built for the photographer who comes home with four hundred frames and has to make all of them look the same. Skin, teeth, eyes, background swaps and colour all apply across a selection rather than one image at a time, and the corrections stay adjustable afterwards. It is priced by credits, one per photo, sold in annual bundles. A retoucher working on a single hero image will find nothing here they cannot already do better by hand.
