Infogram vs. Inkscape

Infogram is great for making infographic-based presentations, leaving behind that look of the old PowerPoint graphics. It is also very good to create posters, maps, and other graphic communication pieces, particularly when there is a need for high-density information in a compact and attractive format. It could also be very useful for promoting ideas at social media, due to the same reasons. In short, it is a powerful tool for communication.

It is hard for me to say when Inkscape would not be a good fit because of my use. I have referred people to those who provide promotional products as well as those who need to utilize their artwork and have it converted to a format such as Inkscape.

• As with other web-based apps, you need a reliable internet connection.
• Sometimes you really wish to have more control over some graphics, to make finer tweaking.
• The price for the pro version (the lower tier above free) is currently at 19 USD/month when billed annually, which can be a bit much if you don't need to use Infogram regularly.

• It could have more template figures
• It can be difficult to find the documents properties bar
• It might be hard to use at the beginning

It is very good in general, but there are steps that I wish could be eliminated as they seem to be "duplicative".

I have personally always had quick, friendly, and helpful responses from the Infogram team.

Infogram had the best balance between the quality and variety of graphics you can produce vs being easy to use.

Adobe Illustrator is also used in our company sometimes however, Inkscape is used most considering the fact that it is completely free while Adobe Illustrator has to be bought through monthly/annual subscriptions that are expensive. For that reason we always opt for Inkscape. Not only is it a free software, but it includes almost all the features and tools that Adobe Illustrator offers, even though there might be some tools missing here and there, for businesses whose main focus isn't graphic design, Inkscape is the way to go. However if Graphic design or illustration is the only or the main factor of your business, I would suggest going for the investment and getting Adobe Illustrator.

• The "Draw Bezier curves and Straight lines" function allows one to quickly copy any shape to then manipulate and add your own spin on the design.
