Can Amadine be considered among Illustrator’s main competitors?

ARTICLE SUMMARY – Software that can compete with Adobe Illustrator? If your question is this, or if you were looking for an alternative to one of Adobe’s software, the developers of BeLight have created Amadine, something truly extraordinary, capable of competing with a giant like Illustrator, with a user interface -fiendly, perfect for both beginners and very demanding experts: a vector graphics software dedicated to the Apple ecosystem, therefore Mac and iOS. Let’s go find out.

This software – and the mobile applications, always all linked to the Apple world – represent one of the most substantial and important new tools for vector graphics, and is the perfect solution both for professionals, who frequently use to create vector graphics projects and who often work with vectors, both to amateur graphic designers, to non-professionals, who do not have the time or desire to throw themselves into long learning curves (required by programs like Illustrator, for example) and who wish to create and dabble in vector graphics.

This new drawing software for the Apple ecosystem (therefore for Mac, iPad and iPhone), and in addition to boasting a clean and tidy interface, it is also very convenient especially compared to its competitors Affinity Designer and Illustrator. It also boasts:

• Extraordinary control thanks to the high-end “Pen” tool.
• Thanks to the dedicated drawing tool it is possible to create extraordinary hand drawings.
• Thanks to the “Width” tool, we can create unique variable strokes to give the drawing an artistic touch.
• We can use color and overlay fills in order to obtain unique vector art.
• To better edit our vector graphics, or edit a vector file for ourselves or our clients, we can add depth to the illustrations through inner and outer glow effects, shadowing and blurring.
• Thanks to the Pressure Sensitive Stroke we can significantly improve the drawing process on graphics tablets.
• Huge choice of typographic characters, both for announcements and for personal or work projects.

Therefore, the functions offered by Amadine go beyond those usually included in a vector editor, since we find tools that will satisfy even the most demanding professionals: a “pen” tool with different types of tracing; the freehand drawing tool, very useful for those who use graphics tablets; color selector; tons of effects that can be applied to illustrations with just a couple of clicks. In short, it is perfect software both for creative minds who wish to nourish their creative imagination and for graphic design professionals.

With Amadine we will purchase the license and be able to use it, on the Apple ecosystem, freely and even split the cost with four other colleagues/family/friends:

As we can see from the screen below, the single license for the software is $19.99, while the family license, for up to 5 users, is $35.99. If, however, we decide to use it with the iPad Pro or the iPhone, the cost of the license for the app is $9.99. It becomes much more convenient than software like Adobe’s Illustrator which asks for $35.49 for a monthly plan, than Affinity design, which despite being close to Amadine as a payment method (so you will only pay once by acquiring the lifetime license for the its use) is more onerous than Amadine and less – in my humble opinion – complete.

Amadine – Costi

As mentioned, with Amadine we will have quality and savings: quality because it is unquestionably one of the most complete and interesting vector drawing software of recent times, then because it allows you to acquire the license for lifetime use with a single expense; therefore, a complete design software with a single expense, just think of the economic benefit that we will have by paying only once rather than every month or every year. Below, we can see the cost comparison between Amadine and Illustrator:

Amadine – Is it convenient for me?

We are not design or digital design professionals but we enjoy using our iPad Pro or graphics tablet, and we want software to use without spending too much or paying cyclically? Amadine is the perfect solution: not only is it a complete software that will allow us to create any graphic project, but the cost for its license, as well as being modest, only has to be paid once.

Are we professionals or semi-professionals and want an alternative to Illustrator? Maybe because we don’t want – or can’t – bear the monthly cost of the Adobe subscription but don’t want to give up quality and powerful software at the same time? Amadine is, in this case, like cheese on macaroni. Perfect.

It may seem obvious but it’s true: Amadine currently represents one of the best vector graphics software currently in circulation, dedicated to the Apple ecosystem, and the best alternative to Adobe Illustrator. If the question is “should I buy the Amadine license?” My answer, working with similar programs on a daily basis, absolutely yes. So, good work and good luck.
