| Which plan to pick | Download it free. Only connect a paid Canva plan if you want the AI tools inside Affinity, or if you already pay for Canva anyway. | An individual should take Professional: the free redo is worth the extra $10 over Basic. Companies should use the Team plan, where credits never expire and the per-person price drops as you buy more. | Try it free first. If you have a pile of old photos to restore, pay for a week, do them all, then cancel before it renews. Weekly billing gets expensive if you forget. |
