XDP11 is by far the most stable version to my mind. (https://www.magix.com/us/web/xara-web-designer/)
If you desperately need the Smart Shapes Xara offers then go for the upgrade; the cost is relatively modest at $50 to get version 16.2 and you do not have to renew each and every year provided you download all content locally.
XBuilder is far better designed and leverages any Xara version and has a fantastic off of $49 as a one-off charge. A further $49 gets all the Web Templates. The offer has two days remaining. (https://xaratemplates.com/x-builder/)
A total of $100 for both products that is probably going to have a cost of return of one development day (7.5h x $40/h - $300) in a single project is well worth it.
