Indeed, “what’s the catch?” when it comes to Adobe Fresco being completely free. As with all of their products, it’s not like you can use Fresco without logging in. I pay for Adobe CC at work, and I’ll admit that I haven’t used Fresco much, but it doesn’t seem possible (or obvious) how you can save your projects exclusively on the local drive of your iPad as you can with Procreate. Your Fresco files are saved in the cloud by default. And I wonder if this is ultimately how the free app hooks in new users. You quickly use up whatever limited cloud space you’re given under your free Adobe ID account. As you create more projects in Fresco and reach those limits, you face the tough choice of either deleting or offloading your working files to free up space, or having to buy the Creative Cloud suite to access more storage. (Haven’t tested this theory, though).
