What mattered · November 8, 2026 to November 15, 2026
Pricing week: three of four competitors changed what they charge.
So what?
Pricing is moving across the whole category. Canva and Adobe both charge more, while Affinity went free. That squeeze makes value messaging more important than feature lists right now. Figma reports earnings soon and just launched Sites, so expect a wave of web-publishing messaging. Suggested move: refresh your pricing comparison page this week and brief sales on the Affinity free tier.
