Posted to Affinity Designer VS Sketch, Oct 18, 2016 I've used both and stuck with Affinity, as it's a lot like illustrator and I do a wide range of work all of which need. With that being said, we (my partner and myself) have created a lot of great UI's with it. We just did an onboarding process with 44 screens without fail.
From my understanding with Sketch, it a lot easier for repeat elements and on similar screens. Overall it doesn't seem that Sketch allows for more complexed elements, which is why people would be using both. I'd say try both and let yourself decide at the end its your preference. You, like most people, will be happy with Sketch but Affinity is a nice alternative if you want something more.
