Comparing MagPlus and Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
Looking for a new way to create engaging digital content for your subscribers or potential customers? If so, you may be weighing the different options currently available on the marketplace, including MagPlus and Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.
What are the differences? Is one option superior to the other? Which option is best for a business on a budget or a marketer with little graphic design experience? Let’s examine all those things – and make an informed call between the two programs.
First – Which is Which?
Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is a program created and deployed by the Adobe software company. It is an older and more established brand and program. MagPlus is a newer program with similar features and a fresh perspective and approach, but far less renowned to lean on. Comparing the two programs requires more digging than just the familiarity of the names alone.
Next, Which One is More Intuitive
For most of us, graphic design is not a hobby. It is not even something that comes easily to us, the way that writing great text content might. For many people, this discourages them from participating in the design process – or even investigating the programs that designers and marketers use for these processes.
Stop thinking that way! Instead, look for a program that meets you where you are with your current skillset. You can always improve your design skills and scale up to a program that allows for more freedom, but for now, look for a program that is intuitive and guides you through the process of making smart design decisions.
For the cost, MagPlus is far better than Adobe DPS in this respect. Whereas one of the chief complaints from users of the Adobe suite is that it is difficult to use, MagPlus markets itself on the premise of being as easy as drag and drop. For those who are looking for a wonderful experience creating branded media products or drag and drop HTML Editor, that makes MagPlus the sure bet.
Lastly, What is the Cost Comparison?
For most businesses, the cost of an investment like design software is going to be the key factor in making the right choice. No matter how much you like the idea of what a company offers, if their software is out of your price range, it just will not work for your company. Unfortunately, it is difficult to budget precisely for any of these software programs because the websites typically require that you submit your information first and request a quote.
With that said, there is a difference in the pricing structure of these two software programs. MagPlus offers a free version of their software, as well as a free trial period for new users. After this, the cost is all-inclusive and is billed from month to month. This gives users the flexibility to discontinue the program if they no longer need it.
Adobe requires annual billing, which can be less expensive. However, the price of the service is billed per service, rather than in an all-inclusive manner. It also has limited deployment capability in the cloud-based version.
Overall, you may pay less for Adobe DPS, but you also get what you pay for. For the money, your best investment would be the services offered by MagPlus.
