We invest time in finding out what you really need and with our wealth of creativity and resourcefulness we are able to bring out a steady stream of releases each year based on that user feedback. In 2019, we made a decision to change to a more affordable subscription service with continued updates to all our products. We delivered a new Astute Manager to give you full control over your plugins and a new team licence management system for larger studios and corporates. We also introduced 4 brand-new plugins into our suite over the last 12 months, giving Illustrator more functionality to enable you to work faster, smarter and more creatively with our suite of 21 time saving tools.
Well established with an enviable reputation in our field, this has led to strong alliances with key partners such as Adobe, X-Pen and Wacom. Our tools are used by thousands of designers from all different walks of life, from individual freelancers to large corporations. We have deep values and ethics to conduct our business responsibly and fairly both with our valued clients and suppliers.

Mainly use this for screen print tools and halftones. but also the font finder and other tools help my workflow speed up.

Love the reduce file size function. We use SVGs and need to keep the file size down for publication purposes.

Plugin is ok...
Plugin is useful, all the other crap is annoying. The login/auth system is regularly problematic. Does not need occupy a space in the finder bar, it is just a plugin. Should not have ads in an app that I am paying for.

I am extremely satisfied
I am extremely satisfied. It's a tool that I can't imagine working without anymore. And if one license covered both Adobe licenses, the rating would be 10+

I'm not sure what impresses me the most....
Now that I'm back on some heavy graphics projects, I thought I should contribute a review of the Astute Graphics plugins.
I'm not sure what impresses me the most -- their incredible software, which integrates deeply into Illustrator and adds features I cannot live without, or their incredible support, which includes the founder and the top developers and the people who write the documentation. Everything about their plugins and the company has been improving RELENTLESSLY for years and years. As a designer, I'm really impressed. As a former developer, I'm really impressed.
This probably sounds like ridiculous hyperbole, but I've been a heavy user of personal computers since CP/M days, and I very rarely come across a company as fun and friendly AND competent and thorough. These plugins are amazingly well conceived, robustly programmed, and beautifully presented. Now that the whole company has dived deep into multiple approaches to documentation, even that is becoming some of the best docs in the industry.
If you don't believe me, write to their CEO on Slack or Facebook or wherever, and he'll explain how and why Astute has become such a smashing success. And he'll make you laugh.

Illustrator is just.. ill.. without the AG tools.
I know of no other graphics design company that is as much on the pulse of what Graphics professionals need and want as Astute Graphics. Their recent push to document *all* their plugins online again shows their commitment to being thorough and user friendly.
