Affinity Designer is a professional desktop vector editor and a direct alternative to Adobe Illustrator, sold for a single one-time payment instead of a subscription. It runs on Windows and macOS (there is no native Linux build).
It is fast and polished, and many designers switch to it from Illustrator for precise, professional vector work. Plugin support is more limited than Adobe's ecosystem, but the one-off $69.99 price makes it an easy way to leave Creative Cloud behind.
