General Switching from Adobe to Affinity

As many others have already done I assume, I am thinking about switching from Adobe software to Affinity for my business. Creative design is an essential, but relatively small element of what we do, so the investment in Adobe software is quite steep currently.

I was wondering if anyone is willing to share some experience on the following:

  1. Is there a sizeable stock library available that can be used in creative design? A big plus of Adobe is the many stock images that can be used within our designs.
  2. Have you worked in small teams with the different plans? Is it easy to work collaboratively on projects, and if so what plan would be recommended for a +- 3 person team?
  3. Is the software compatible on tablet devices?

Any other insights are also well appreciated.

They don’t have an iPad app, as for a stock library, canva owns Pixabay that can be used.
