About this site

Why this site exists

When a sixteen-app open-source suite launches, the official site tells you what it does. It cannot tell you what to check before you trust it with a client file, or which of the sixteen apps is actually usable today.

That gap is what this site fills: a per-app reality check, written for people who have files and deadlines rather than curiosity alone.

How the pages are researched

Facts about status, platforms, licensing and pricing come from the official ArtCraft pages, read directly and quoted at the time of writing.

Anything we could not verify is labelled as something to check rather than stated as fact. Where an app's capability is unclear, the page says so and gives you a test to run.

We do not invent benchmark numbers, prices, or feature lists. If a page has no number for something, it is because the number is not published.

What this site is not

It is not an official ArtCraft property, a support channel, or a download mirror. Always download the apps from the official site or the GitHub releases it links to.

It is also not a review of Adobe. Comparisons exist to help you decide what to use, not to argue that anyone should stop paying for software they depend on.

Corrections

Alpha software changes quickly, so pages can go stale. Each page carries a last-updated date.

If something here is wrong, the corrections address is on the contact page. Specific beats polite: include the page and the sentence.

Questions

Is this the official ArtCraft site?

No. It is an independent guide and is not affiliated with ArtCraft or Adobe.

How often is it updated?

Pages carry a last-updated date. Re-check the official pages before relying on a detail, since alpha builds change.

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. The site is funded by advertising, which has no influence on what the pages say.
