Didn't know Serif had made a third product. Be wary of them - Designer and Photo are both buggy minefields and their support forum is full of snobby jerks. Crashes have been reported and present for years, with little or no response from Serif. Their developers all seem either disgruntled or burnt out. Some of the employer review sites confirm this.
They're cheap but you certainly get what you pay for. Save often, back up often. I say this as an avid Designer user.
Bug-wise yes, both Photo and Designer are very very buggy.
Functionality, also yes, but not by much. Only thing I miss from Photoshop in Affinity Photo is content aware tooling. I don't remember anything I miss from Illustrator in Affinity Design and I actually think they have better features than Illustrator (admittedly haven't used Illustrator in almost a decade so maybe they've caught up).
You really can't beat Affinity's price though unless you use GIMP/Inkscape of course, but I like neither of those programs.
